Abstract

A GPR system was requested from GEF to collect data during two fieldwork seasons of an on-going NERC PhD project. A total of 310 GPR B-scans were collected and an area of 755.4m² was mapped at five challenging and contrasting archaeological study sites in Scotland. A GPS Leica System 1200 was also required during the second field season to accurately locate the survey grids, to correct some GPR data and to assist to other instruments. The GPR survey produced good results and succeeded in locating the known archaeological targets.
