New Perspectives on Geophysics for Archaeology: A Special Issue

This Special Issue hosts a selection of papers presented at the Third International Conference on Metrology for Archaeology and Cultural Heritage (Lecce, Italy, 23-25 October 2017), related to the new perspectives on geophysics for archaeology. In recent years, archaeological prospecting has seen major advances through a variety of remote sensing and computing technologies. Geophysical instrumentation continues to improve in sensitivity and acquisition speed, and new multi-sensor arrays, e.g., drawn by carts over land, now permit vast areas to be rapidly covered. On the other hand, the availability of highresolution remote sensing techniques provides multiscale and multi-temporal approaches…
