Geochemical and geophysical prospection of an archaeological locality ( (Hillfort Prague - Vinoř)
Novotná, Žaneta ; Dohnal, Jiří (advisor) ; Klír, Tomáš (referee)
SUMMARY: The diploma thesis is focused on application of natural science methods - geophysics and above all geochemistry - in archaeology. Geophysical and geochemical techniques have become an integral part of non-destructive archaeology over time. While geophysical methods have been practiced in a wide array of archaeological surveys for many decades, geochemical methods have been used to a greater extent up to in recent years. In addition, the application of geochemistry in archaeology is, in most cases, limited only to the analysis of phosphates in soil applied to small spatial units. The potential of geochemistry in dealing with archaeological issues remains still unused due to the limited understanding of the context. This is also reflected in the absence of publications that would allow a good-quality interpretation of geochemical data in connection with archaeology. Geophysical and geochemical procedures were applied during the survey of the selected area in the locality of Hillfort Vinoř, located on the northeastern outskirts of Prague. The aim of this survey was to contribute to the widening of the existing knowledge of the locality with an emphasis on the wider context. Two methods were chosen for the geophysical survey - dipole electromagnetic profiling (DEMP) and electrical resistivity...

The use of geophysical measurements in the Settlement Pattern of Prehistoric Bohemia Project
Křivánek, Roman
The six-year project Settlement Pattern of Prehistoric Bohemia (1997-2002) has been basen on a wide cooperation of non-destructive methods (aerial and geophysical prospection, systematic field walking, geoarchaeology etc.). This paper summarize wide range of efficient aplication of geophysical (mainly magnetometric) surveys of different types of newly identified archaeological sites (settlement areas, hill-forts, barrow fields, production areas, closed and open linear features and enclosures, archaeological situations with unclear site interpretation or sites of unknown origin).
