Announcements
-
EGU session about Archaeological
Prospection for the next EGU General Assembly, Vienna,
Austria (02-07 May) Magnetic and/or other geophysical
prospection for archeology (MPRG12)
Convener: Y.Q. Quesnel
(quesnel@cerege.fr,
CEREGE, Aix-en-Provence, France)
Co-Convener: S. Piro (NRC, Italy)
The session is then opened to geophysical studies on
potential/known archaeological sites, focusing on
prospections which use magnetics combined with other methods
(GPR, resistivity, etc.) or constrained by rock property
constraints. The objective is to share different experiences
as well as to highlight some needed improvements in some
fields (e.g. new instruments?, new processing techniques?,
etc.). You are invited to submit an abstract via the
EGU 2010 website on this link:
http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2010/session/2550
DEADLINE FOR RECEIPT OF ABSTRACT: 18 January 2010
