  This revised edition contains an updated account of the scientific detective work by which geophysical and chemical methods give dramatic pictures of buried archaeological sites and disclose what occurred within them before any earth has been removed. The author, a pioneer in the field, presents a thorough survey of the subject, covering techniques such as electrical resistivity, magnetrometry, ground-penetrating radar and phosphate survey. He also offers practical advice, from choice of site to presentation of data. As well as descriptions of the present state of the art, he includes glimpses of future developments that could make this subject even more fundamental to archaeological research.
