Wide Area Archaeological Site Investigation using Ground Penetrating Radar

利用探地雷达（GPR）对古政府建筑、聚落和寺庙场地的大面积地下考古现场进行了遥感调查。本研究的目的是确定地质雷达的适用性，以准确地检测地下考古从各种网站具有不同的地面条件，并测试该技术应用于大面积的网站的可行性。作为初步调查的一部分，方法，以获得更深的穿透深度成功地实施后处理的雷达数据在研究的例子网站包括一木春之路网站。这个遗址非常有趣，因为包括一个古老的通道和船只登陆区在内的目标被埋得很深，而且还被由湿粘土组成的上层土壤覆盖。这些现场条件被认为是非常困难的探地雷达是有效的。在研究计划的早期阶段，一项试验性调查能够 关于我们 探地雷达的结果也得到了电磁法（EM勘测）的证实。探地雷达和电磁法勘测在场地具有不同地面条件（例如土壤湿度条件）的情况下进行了多次。结果表明，考虑到场地的气候和自然环境，当理想的土壤条件最有利时，可以获得成功的测量结果。其他调查地点包括寺崎寺遗址（宫崎的齐藤市）、古政府遗址日高遗址（群马的高崎）和下田寺遗址（兵库县的姬路）。在吉之加里遗址（佐贺金崎町）也调查了陶罐墓葬，调查结果表明，GPR不仅能够检测到这些墓葬，而且数据表明，这些墓葬也可以分为幸存的完整墓葬罐和倒塌的墓葬罐。这些研究的总体结论是，地质雷达可以成功地应用于大面积考古遗址调查的研究。少

Wide area site investigation of subsurface archaeology of ancient government buildings, settlement and temple grounds were remotely studied using ground penetrating radar (GPR). The objective of the study was to ascertain the applicability of GPR to accurately detect subsurface archaeology from a variety of sites having different ground conditions and to test the feasibility of applying this technology over wide area sites.As part of the preliminary investigation, methods to obtain deeper penetration depths were successfully implemented from post-processing of the radar data On example site studied included the Iki-Harunotsuji site. This site was very interesting in that the targets which included an ancient channel and boat landing area, were buried very deep and were also overlain by upper layer soils which consisted of wet clay. These site conditions were considered to be extremely difficult for GPR to be effective. In the early stage of the research program, a trial survey was able … More to detect the targeted channel and the landing area The results from GPR were also confirmed by an electromagnetic method (EM survey. The GPR and EM surveys were conducted several times in which the site had different ground conditions (e.g. soil moisture conditions). It was found that successful survey results could be obtained when ideal soil conditions were most favorable considering the weather and natural environment of the site. The target features however were undetectable when the ground conditions were not ideal.Other survey sites include the Terasaki temple site (Saito-shi, Miyazaki), the ancient government grounds at the Hidaka Site (Takasaki, Gunma), and the temple site at Shimooda (Himeji, Hyogo). Earthenware pot burials were also investigated at the Yoshinogari site (Kanazaki-cho, Saga) where survey results indicate that GPR was not only able to detect these burials, but the data suggest that these burial can also be classified between surviving intact burial pots and collapsed burial pots. The general conclusion of these studies were that GPR can be successfully applied to the study of wide area archaeological site investigations. Less
