The application of integrated geophysical methods in non-destructive archaeological exploration in Jinsha Site

摘要

In recent years, Induced Polarization (IP) method and Ground-penetrating radar are non-destructive geophysical methods which are widely used in subsurface exploration. They are suitable to detect those goals which are small and buried shallowly in archeological exploration. At first, the author gives a brief description of basic principle of the two methods and geophysical application prerequisite thereof for use in the archaeological exploration, followed by focusing on the introduction of integrated application of the two methods on exploring distribution of precious historical relics such as bronzewares, jadewares, and potteries, and the author introduces application effect of the methods by taking No.2 anomaly as an example and get a good certification. Research results have important directive significance to tracing to the culture source and to excavation of the Jinsha Site.
