| Zusammenfassung |
| In Israel occur a giant number of archaeological objects of various age,
origin and size. Different kinds of noise complicate geophysical methods
employment at archaeological sites. Geodynamical active, multi-layered, and
geologically variable surrounding media in many cases damages ancient
objects and disturbs their physical properties. This calls to application of
different geophysical methods armed by the modern interpretation technology.
The main attention is focused on the geophysical methods most frequently
applying in Israeli archaeological sites: GPR and high-precise magnetic
survey. Other methods (paleomagnetic, resistivity, near-surface seismics,
piezoelectric, etc.) are briefly described and reviewed. The number of
employed geophysical methodologies is constantly increasing, and now Israeli
territory may be considered as a peculiar polygon for various geophysical
methods testing. Several examples illustrate effective application of
geophysical methods over some typical archaeological remains. The
geophysical investigations at archaeological sites in Israel could be
tentatively divided on three stages: (1) past (1990), (2) present (1990–2009),
and (3) future (2010). The past stage with several archaeoseismic
reviews and very limited application of geophysical methods was replaced by
the present stage with the violent employment of numerous geophysical
techniques. It is supposed that the future stage will be characterized by
extensive development of multidiscipline physical-archaeological databases,
employment of all possible indicators for 4-D monitoring and ancient sites
reconstruction, as well as application of combined geophysical multilevel
surveys using remote operated vehicles at low altitudes. |
