| Summary: | Ten papers from a conference at the Dorset Institute in 1989. Major themes were the study of whole landscapes by geoprospection methods, and the application of new techniques. Contributions: Geoprospection in the archaeological landscape: Trace metal accumulations in soils on and around settlements (J Bintliff, B Davis, C Gaffney, A Snodgrass, A Waters); Tofts Ness, exploration and interpretation (S Dockrill, J Gater); Field magnetic susceptibility measurement from prospection and excavation (A Challands); Geoarchaeological enhancement of river valley archaeology in NE England (D Cowley, M Macklin, C O'Brien, D Passmore, T Stevenson). New Techniques and Applications in geoprospection: Phosphate survey (R Walker), Tools for the interpretation of soil phosphate data (C Buck, B Cavanagh, C Litton); Multielectrode resistivity tomography or imaging archaeology (Mark Noel); Thermal archaeological prospection (T Bellerby, M Noel, K Branigan). The Archaeologist & Geoprospection: The British Geological survey, geoprospection techniques applied to the archaeological landscape (J Allsop); Shapwick, Somerset, a study in need of remote sensing (M Aston).
