Archaeological Investigations into Underground Stone Structures Utilizing Scientific Remote Sensing Devices

本研究的目的是开发非开挖考古遗址调查的方法和设备，并对这些方法所获得的结果进行考古学评估。作为遥感技术的贡献，我们已经研究了各种遥感方法的有效性，评估这些方法，确定考古遗址，将是适当的遥感设备的改进，并产生考古假设，可以最好地测试遥感技术。为了对考古学做出贡献，我们试图通过在以前应用遥感技术的遗址进行发掘来评估遥感技术所获得的结果，识别和整理可以与遥感技术所获得的结果进行比较的考古信息，并探索遥感技术作为考古发掘和保护的辅助手段的可能性。 ...更多信息 为了实现这一目标，在挖掘之前应用了各种技术，如探地雷达、电阻率、磁力测量和甚低频。为了评估调查结果，在调查后挖掘了以下考古遗址：大坂府久梅田海吹山古墓（1992年、1994年、1995年、1996年）、福井县城山墓（1993年）、冈山县定田东冢和定田西冢墓（1993、1994、1995）、鸟取县宫内遗址（1994）、兵库县教冢墓（1995）和兵库县东山墓（1996）。这些古墓或土丘都有一个坑式或走廊式的石墓室。因此，这些遥感技术被认为是有效的规划挖掘和确定一个网站的哪些部分被保存，虽然在不同的条件下，在有效性上确实存在一些差异。进一步改进这些装置，必将提高结果的精度。少

The purposs of this study are to develop methods and devices for surveying archaeological sites without excavations and to archaeologically evaluate the results obtained by such methods. As contributions to remote sensing techniques, we have examined the effectiveness of various remote sensing methods, evaluated these methods, identified archaeological sites that would be appropriate for the improvement of remote sensing devices, and generated archaeological hypotheses that could be best tested by remote sensing techniques. In order to contribute to archaeology, we have attempted to evaluate the results obtained by remote sensing techniques by conducting excavations at the sites where the remote sensing technique was previously applied, identified and sorted archaeological information that could be compared with the results obtained by remote sensing techniques, and explored the possibilities of remote sensing techniques as an aid for archaeological excavations and the conservation of … More archaeological sites.In order to achieve the goal, various techniques, such as GPR,resistivity, magnetometry, and VLF were applied prior to excavations. To evaluate the results, the following archaeological sites were excavated after the survey : Kumeda-Kaibukiyama tumulus in Osaka Prefecture (1992,1994,1995,1996), Shiroyama tumulus in Fukui Prefecture (1993), Sada-Higashizuka and Sada-Nishizuka tumuli in Okayama Prefecture (1993,1994,1995), Miyauchi site in Tottori prefecture (1994), Gyojazuka tumulus in Hyogo Prefecture (1995), and Higashiyama tumulus in Hyogo prefecture (1996). These tumuli or burial mounds all had a pit-styl or corridor-style stone burial chambers inside.As a result, these remote sensing techniques were considered to be effective in planning excavations and determining what portions of a site to be preserved, although some differences in the effectiveness do exist depending on various conditions. A futher improvement of the devices will certainly in crease the precision of the results. Less
