Working Group 'ArchaeoGeophysics'
By now, methods of geophysical prospection have become a standard instrument for archaeological field research. For this reason, the Archaeological Institute of Cologne has established a corresponding focus of work. Geophysical prospections have systematically been integrated into research and teaching ever since. Also, a competence network for geophysical prospections, which also includes the Institute of Prehistory, has been set up in order to use the resources that are accessible in Cologne optimally:
- Caesium-Magnetometer (Geometrics G858)
- Electrical Resistance Measuring (Geoscan RM 15 & RM 85)
- Georadar (GSSI SIR-3000), 200 and 400 Mhz antennas
The Institute has conducted numerous projects and cooperations, i. a. in:
