Thanks to ever-more sophisticated technology archaeologists can identify much that is beneath the soil without having to excavate. From Pitt-Rivers banging the surface of the ground with a pick in the late nineteenth century, through Atkinson''s revolutionary use of the ''Megger-Earth Tester'', to modern-day radar survey, the value of geophysical techniques is lucidly explained with many real-life case studies.
