The imagery in this library is derived from ground-based archaeological remote sensing projects conducted by the Archeo-Imaging Lab of the University of Arkansas. These projects utilize a suite of near-surface geophysical prospecting methods including ground penetrating radar, proton magnetometry, fluxgate gradiometry, electrical resistivity, and electromagnetic induction methods. Included in this reference library is a selection of some of the more interesting results. Best viewed at screen resolutions greater than 800 x 600.
