Archaeological Insights through GPR: Survey at Bisyah and Ras Al Jinz

Archaeological Insights through GPR Technology

GMap was entrusted with a critical archaeological investigation at the historically significant sites of Bisyah and Ras Al Jinz in Oman. Utilizing advanced Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology, our team conducted a detailed survey to identify and map subsurface features such as buried walls, anomalies, and various artifacts. This case study outlines our approach, findings, and the impact of GPR in the archaeological field.

Project Overview: GPR Technology in Archaeological Surveying

• Objective: The primary goal was to use GPR to detect and map subsurface features with high dielectric properties, providing accurate data up to depths of 4-5 meters. The focus was on identifying buried structures and artifacts that could offer new insights into the region's ancient history.

Methodology:

• GPR Equipment: Our team utilized state-of-the-art GPR technology, capable of penetrating various subsurface materials and providing detailed imaging.
• Survey Process: The survey was conducted meticulously, with depth variations guiding the data collection process. Anomalies detected were marked for further analysis and excavation.

Key Findings: Uncovering Subsurface Structures

High-Resolution Imaging:

• Anomaly Detection: The technology allowed us to detect variations in subsurface materials, crucial for identifying potential archaeological sites.

Impact on Archaeology:

• Accuracy: The high accuracy of GPR ensured that the data collected was reliable, guiding the excavation process and minimizing unnecessary digging.
• Efficiency: By providing detailed images before excavation, GPR technology saved time and resources, making the archaeological investigation more efficient.
