Revisiting Fara: Comparison of merged prospection results of diverse magnetometers with the earliest excavations in ancient Suruppak from 120 years ago

Sandra E. Hahn et al.

Summary: Ancient Suruppak, one of the major Sumerian cities, was excavated and surveyed using magnetometry, revealing the existence of a city wall, a unique building complex, canals, and looting pits. These findings provide new insights into the ancient city's layout and confirm the accuracy of previous excavations.

UAV magnetometer survey in low-level flight for archaeology: Case study of a Second World War airfield at Ganacker (Lower Bavaria, Germany)

Andreas Stele et al.

Summary: Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) magnetometer systems have become increasingly important in large-scale archaeological prospection. Despite the challenges of magnetic and mechanical disturbances and low-level flight, improvements have been made to minimize these interferences. Using high sampling rate magnetometers and precise flight control, more accurate results can be obtained in archaeological prospection.

Integrative Geophysical Studies at the Novaya Kurya-1 Cemetery in the Kulunda Steppe

O. A. Pozdnyakova et al.

Summary: Prospection studies at the Novaya Kurya-1 cemetery in Western Siberia utilized remote sensing methods and original techniques to identify 14 kurgans, most of which date back to the Early Scythian period. Further studies are needed to identify additional features detected at the site.

A Lightweight Prototype of a Magnetometric System for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Antonino Pisciotta et al.

Summary: Detection of Earth's magnetic field anomalies is essential for earth sciences and archaeology, and lightweight magnetic sensors are now commercially available for use with light UAVs for airborne measurements. Through experimental validation, this detection method proves capable of conducting local and potential archaeological magnetometric measurements.
