Archaeology of the Holy Land
Magnetometry is a non-invasive geophysical method used in archaeology to measure the magnetic properties of soil and rock, helping to detect and map subsurface archaeological features. By identifying variations in the Earth's magnetic field caused by buried structures, artifacts, or disturbances, magnetometry plays a crucial role in locating sites without the need for excavation. This technique aids in understanding site layout and can reveal patterns that inform further archaeological investigations.
congrats on reading the definition of magnetometry. now let's actually learn it.
