This paper presents the results of a study exploring the potential of magnetic-susceptibility and phosphate soil analyses to locate and characterize buried Neolithic settlements in Thessaly, Greece. Using the preliminary results of large-area magnetometer surveys, soil samples were collected at three well-known sites along exploratory lines and augers targeting the locations of possible features of interest, including habitational structures and enclosures. The results demonstrated the capability of these analyses to detect the sites, outline hotspots and better interpret the features identified in the magnetometer results.

Geophysical and Geochemical Proxies of Neolithic Sites from Thessaly: A Comparative Study on the Potential of Soil Magnetic Susceptibility and Phosphate Analyses for Minimally Invasive Location and Interpretation of Buried Features

The study constitutes the first internal subsurface mapping of a cave environment in Crete. Mapping of the sedimentary deposits of Megalos Peristeres cave indicated the sequence of the fillings within the different chambers of the cave. Suggestions for the existence of anthropogenic residues have been made through the combined study of radargrams and depth slices.

Processing and Analysing Geophysical Data

An around-the-world profile of magnetic total field intensity has been analyzed. Local anomalies are almost totally absent from Lisbon through the Mediterranean Sea, across the Arabian peninsula, and along the coast of the Arabian Sea to Bombay. Magnetic sources appear to be shallow across the entire Pacific Ocean and in the vicinity of the mid-Atlantic ridge. The major sources under continental areas are much deeper. The Fourier coefficients decrease in amplitude very rapidly up to order 7; beyond that, the envelope of the coefficients slowly decreases, reaching a magnitude of approximately 1 γ at the 2000th harmonic. The harmonics are summed according to fixed wavelength-width intervals. This results in a bimodal distribution indicating crustal sources and core sources. If the single around-the-world profile studied here is typical of all great-circle profiles, it is concluded that spherical harmonic coefficients of order and degree greater than 10 are probably not required to describe the main part of the earth's field to within limits acceptable for world charts.
