Sixth Announcement:
NSGG day meeting on Recent Work in Archaeological Geophysics
Geological Society of London, Burlington House, Piccadilly,
London W1J 0BG
4th December 2012
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The abstracts booklet for this meeting next Tuesday is now
available for download as a 10Mb PDF from the NSGG website:

Pre-registration is now closed but you can still register at the
venue on arrival on the day of the meeting.
About the meeting:
Near surface geophysical techniques are now a well established
tool for the evaluation of archaeological sites from their initial
discovery to subsequent interpretation and management. However,
this success has brought new challenges with ever larger areas
needing to be surveyed rapidly and greater demands to characterise
buried remains without excavation meaning ongoing improvement of
techniques and methodologies is necessary. Meanwhile exciting new
archaeological discoveries continue to be made with geophysics and
it is valuable to share these with colleagues.
This will be the tenth in a succession of biennial meetings in which
contributors present and debate the results of recent research
and case studies. Suppliers of equipment and software will also
be attending and the meeting therefore represents an invaluable
opportunity for archaeological and geophysical practitioners,
students, academic and amateur researchers to catch up with recent
research and developments. The meeting typically attracts 100 or
more participants and, as well as oral presentations, there will
be commercial exhibits and poster displays.
Please note that unlike recent previous meetings in this series
there will regrettably not be a forensic geosciences meeting
the following day as the Forensic Geosciences Group had a prior
conference commitment this year in August.
