Non-Destructive Techniques Applied to Landscape Archaeology

^BNon-Destructive Techniques Applied to Landscape Archaeology edited by Marinella Pasquinucci and Frédéric Trément D. The fourth book in the Archaeology of Mediterranean Landscapes series. The contributors to this book outline non-destructive methods such as remote sensing, aerial photography and reconnaissance, magnetic and radar techniques, seismic and acoustic methods, soil phosphate surveys and geochemical analysis with xamples taken from particular case studies. 276p (Oxbow Books 1999)

Review Quotes

"These are the result of research by a highly impressive European network which addressed methodological issues in Mediterranean landscape archaeology...
The scale of work and detail of publication, as well as the broad vision by such a group of serious scholars, make this an enviable project for British archaeologists...
A useful quarry for techniques and comparative data."

Alison Taylor
The Archaeologist 41 (Summer 2001)

"To me the most important contribution of the publication is the rich overview of diverse methodologies that is made available in one integrated source."

Richard E. Blanton
Antiquity 75 (2001)
