Folgheraiter suggested over a century ago that baked materials could in principle be used to study variations of the Earth’s magnetic field intensity in the past although he foresaw great difficulties. Over the last century, enormous progress has been made in laying the theoretical foundations for using archaeological and geologic materials to study variations in the strength of the magnetic field. Along with better theoretical foundations have come improvements in experimental design. Over the last decade, there has been an explosion of papers presenting data concerning variations in paleointensity through time using both igneous and sedimentary records. In this chapter, we will explore the theoretical basis for paleointensity experiments in igneous and sedimentary environments, review the existing data, and highlight current topics of interest.
