Geophysical Prospection & Surveying at the Stonehenge Riverside Project

Students and recent graduates of the Archaeology Group supervise each field seasons’ geophysical exploration of the Stonehenge landscape. Since 2004 over 5.5 hectares have been surveyed by the team.

Survey assistants use a combination of differential GPS  and high end total stations to record finds, locate trenches and draw archaeological features.
