ElectroMagnetic Induction
Our Expertise
Electromagnetic Induction (EMI) simultaneously measures the electrical and magnetic properties of the subsurface at differing depths. Traditionally developed for agriculture and environmental purposes, this technology has been adopted in archaeology to help identify archaeological site boundaries, unmarked graves, buried ditches and fortifications, buried foundations, and more.
ArchaeoSpatial Analytics employs the instrumentation of the Geonics Ltd. EM31 and 38 MK2 to aid us in identifying buried subsurface deposits at various scales and depths while utilizing cutting edge data-processing techniques to maximize detection.
Applications
- Site boundaries
- Unmarked graves
- Buried ditches, trenches, and pits
- Buried foundations and walls
- Buried or leveled mounds
