GEORADAR INVESTIGATIONS AND GEOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS IN CONTEMPORARY ARCHEOLOGICAL STUDIES

Archeological studies require a precise and interdisciplinary approach. Use of the noninva­sive methods in urban area investigations is expected because they do not result in any changes in land architecture plans. Very good combination fulfilling such demands are geochemical analyses of: pH, Eh, conductivity and heavy metals concentrations in soils and the results of the ground penetra­ting radar method. These methods allow for a more precise selection of places of interest and can be also used for a more accurate calibration and better interpretation of subsequent results. Proposed methodology gives good final results thanks to complementarily of each method and can be used under variable conditions.
