Analyzing The Field Research Procedure

Evidence of almost 100 of the stones has revealed without the need to excavate the site, due to remote sensing, ground-penetrating radar and geographical imaging technologies. These advancements in science and technology allow researchers to discover the historical monuments full extent. Fragments of bones, stones and the foundation pits in which they were situated have all been uncovered during excavations and technological mapping indicating the true size and importance the site was to the Neolithic

An unscrupulous archaeologist by the name of Henirich Hochstetter excavated the Shoen-Tell site in Turkey in the late 1920s. Hochstetter was interested more in antiquities than in data, so he provided little substantive information tot eh professional community about his dig or his findings. However, a conscientious assistant of Hochstetter’s, Roxanne Browne, managed to collect detailed information on fifty of the burials Hochstetter plundered. Her data is

Death by Theory, written by Adrian Praetzellis, is an engaging and informational book written in a novelistic way that engages the reader to think critically about archaeology. Compared to other forms of informational text about archaeology, Death by Theory teaches archaeological theory by telling a story that incorporates the different theories of archaeology in a realistic setting. While standard textbooks about the theory of archaeology can come off a bit dry, Death by Theory skips the standard definitions and applies this in a way that aids the reader in understanding how these theories and terms can be applied in an actual archaeological setting. This text illustrates the adventure of plucky archaeologist Dr. Hannah Green and her nephew Sean Doyle as they seek to explain an unusual archaeological site while dealing with real life archaeological struggles. The protagonists deal with an egotistical colleague of Dr. Green who sought her out as a consult on a particularly strange archaeological case. All the while dealing with cults, the media, and incompatible data.

This essay will aim to cover several archaeology techniques and methodologies that would have been used during excavation of archeological sites, in particular the New Kinord site. These methods will provide an insight into a wide range of information that I am interested in discovering. These include what the inhabitants of the site did for a living, their diet and how the term of occupation can be determined.

From the area that was excavated a total of 30,306 artifacts were excavated from the abandonment deposit. Of these 58.09% related to building materials, 1.15% were classified as ceramics, 30.78% were classified as ecological, .29% were classified as farmware, 3.02% were classified as glass, .56 % was classified as munitions, 1.6% as personal, .17% as general tools and 4.34% as utensils. The focal point of the following review of the data will be on the use of space in terms of foodstuffs, general working areas, and

Kathleen’s first archaeological experience was in the Great Zimbabwe in Southern Rhodesia as a photographer where she was joined by Gertrude Caton-Thomson. This expedition had been made possible by her father’s facilitation and connections along with Margaret Fry’s persuasion. As she would prove useful on this excavation, being both industrious and reliable, her duties would expand beyond taking pictures to overseeing the workers assisting at the site. After she returned to England, at the completion of the Zimbabwe expedition, Kathleen joined Sir Mortimer Wheeler’s staff at his excavation at Roman Verulamiun (St. Albans), north of London. While there she would study Wheeler’s method of stratigraphic excavation. Wheeler’s findings were based on the concept developed by geologist William Smith where materials accumulate on a site through a sequence of layers that explain the historical timeline

Technology is changing rapidly every single day, they can change anything positively or negatively. Luckily for us, a major positive change has happened in the archaeology field, greatly impacting archaeologist’s data and findings. This air borne laser sensor, Lidar (Light Detection And Ranging) (Hopkins, 2014) is taking the archaeology field by storm. Before LiDAR archaeologists had to dig through thick vegetation and undergrowth in Mesoamerica in search for ancient cities, artifacts, and fossils. This was not only time consuming it was inaccurate. LiDAR was the solution to their problem, this is a laser based tool that penetrates through deep forest canopies and creates large volumes or 3D measurements (Chase Et Le., 2012)helping scientists

Metal detector devices function to find and locate items that are made of metal or those with metal components. These tools have the ability to locate metal elements even from underneath the ground.

These metal detector services are used to detect metals in the populated areas. A metal detector does exactly what the name indicates; it detects metals. There are many different detectors available, some of which are more complex than the others. The basic detectors are simple to use without alot of complicated features. Metal detectors can even detect metal items and deposits far below what the casual searcher could find. You can hear the alert sound when a metal passes the metal detector system. You can get the information related to metal detector in the forth coming chapter. These reviews will help you increase your knowledge on metal detectors.

First, the reading states that there is no evidence that any metal wires located near the vessels that could be used as electricity conductors. The professor opposes this point by saying that local people found the vessels. So, the professor states that they could found other metal that could be used as conductors and they overlooked it or thrown it away because they were not trained archelologists.

For an example, the MRI which is also called the Magnetic Resonance Imaging. MRI is a technique used in medicine to produce images of tissues inside a body. Physicians use these images to diagnose some injuries, diseases and also disorders. It is very important as a diagnostic tool since it can enable doctors or physicians to identify abnormal tissues without even doing any surgeries. The MRI does not expose patients to radiations. It is unlike the other tests that uses X-rays. Other than that, it can also let doctors and physicians look through bones and organs. MRI is a safe diagnostic tool for almost everyone.

In doing the research, the methodology must be appropriate so that the analysis findings could reach the objective. Research methodology proposed one procedure in order way to be follow to answer all the questions in the research that want to be made. Quoted by Denzin and Lincoln (1994), methodology is a process that related with research objective and data. In the others word, it is early research planning that include the research scope, data collection method, data collection process and data analysis method. For Ranjit (2005), methodology is one of crucial part in research, in order to ensure the research can be done in the systematic way Overall, this chapter will discuss on the research frame and the methodologies used in order to meet the research objectives. Research process been divided into three main parts there are preliminary research part, data collection and last one data analysis.

The Asterix field lies in 1,360 meters of water in the Norwegian North Sea on Block 6705/10 in PL 327B. The field is operated by Statoil, holding a 70% interest; Petoro holds 25%; and Norske Shell the remaining 10% interest.

Spector and Grant (1970) generalized their energy power spectrum expression of the map by assuming that the anomalies of any magnetic map are come from a group of vertical magnetic prisms. Smith et al. (1974), Boler (1978) and Connard et al. (1983) applied the expression of this energy power spectrum to define the depth of the deepest magnetic layer.

The responsibility of these sensors are to measure the deviation from a reference position. Inductive sensors are comprised of soft-magnetic cores on stators and sensor targets on rotors. The values of inductances of sensor coils wrapped around the cores are used to estimate the rotor position. Although their readings can be affected by stray magnetic fields from AMB actuators, these sensors are often easier to use than eddy-current sensors. This problem can be avoided for radial sensors by using two diametrically opposite sensor heads in differential connection. This cannot be said, however, for axial sensors. Axial sensors must be located close to the axial actuators, where the stray fields are higher, in order to minimize changes of the actuator operating gaps caused by differences in thermal expansions of the rotor and the stator.
