Ground-Penetrating Radar for Archaeology

This book provides an excellent guide for archaeologists and geophysicists who are studying GPR for archeology. Lawrence B. Conyers puts his fingers on the most modern advances in the GPR technology and presents a wide range of information that offers a comprehensive picture of using this method in archeology. -- Mohammed AL-Hameedawi, archeogeophysicist, Smart Line Geophysical Survey
This book has been an essential introduction and reference for GPR survey in archaeology. This updated edition now includes many of the new developments in the field from the last decade and is the best introduction to this important component of the archaeologist’s toolkit. -- Dr. Kris Lockyear, Institute of Archaeology, University College London
This volume is essential reading for GPR novices and professionals. Accessible, engaging, and at times entertaining, the volume adeptly covers history, theory, method, and interpretation of GPR. It is packed with technical details, real-life examples, practical advice, and opinions formed over decades of experience. The book straddles the past, present, and future of GPR, with great respect for data and the nuts-and-bolts of GPR work from collecting to interpreting and presenting data. -- Andy Creekmore, Ph.D., professor and chair, department of anthropology, University of Northern Colorado
Drawing upon the latest research, using examples from around the globe, and covering all the fundamentals, Professor Conyers fourth edition is an invaluable resource for archaeologists and geophysicists alike. -- Emma St Pierre, director, RADARch Archaeological and Geophysical Consulting
This fully revised edition is the most comprehensive and insightful guide to GPR in archaeological prospection. Peppered with personal anecdotes from three decades researching the method around the world, prospection pioneer Lawrence Conyers generously shares his knowledge. A must-read for students, practitioners, researchers, and anyone wishing to fundamentally understand the royal discipline of archaeo-geophysics. -- Immo Trinks, associate professor of geoarchaeology, University of Vienna
Lawrence Conyers' book remains essential reading for anyone looking to use the GPR method to study or manage the archaeological record. With this 4th edition, Conyers expertly weaves the developments of the past decade with his signature story-telling style, resulting in an exceptionally informative and accessible book. -- Jennie O. Sturm, Ph.D., RPA, geophysics program director, Statistical Research, Inc.
Lawrence Conyers’ book is a comprehensive guide to ground-penetrating radar (GPR) technology and its application in archaeology. It covers everything from the basic principles of GPR to processing and visualization in a language everyone can understand. The book is a must-read and essential resource for understanding and applying GPR for non-destructive archaeology. -- Arne Anderson Stamnes, senior researcher, department of archaeology and cultural heritage, The Norwegian University of Science and Technology
From survey design to data interpretation, Ground-Penetrating Radar for Archaeology shows how GPR can provide unique information to support archaeological research, while warning archaeologists this can only be achieved through thorough understanding of the principles, potentials, and pitfalls of the method. Complementing existing works on GPR theory, practical insights on these aspects are exactly what this book provides. -- Philippe De Smedt, Department of Environment, Faculty of Bioscience Engineering, Ghent University, Belgium
