Archaeological Survey: Survey Techniques

small logo

Archaeological survey is a key component of archaeological research, and is increasingly used as both a tool for large scale exploration of landscapes and urban settlements, and as a precursor to excavation.

The service provided by The British School at Rome allows for the integration of different non-destructive techniques, comprising topographic survey, and the principal methods of geophysical prospection: magnetometry, resistivity and ground penerating radar. This work is backed up by a data geo-referencing and mapping service, which includes analysis and interpretation of results, and rapid production of high quality, well-researched survey reports.

Specialist methods offered include:

  • Production of images and interpretation in a variety of formats
  • Fully researched interim and final reports, produced with full academic backup
  • Publication of research and survey results
