Abstract
Often many subsurface investigations with GPR in archaeological applications are dedicated not to finding archaeological sites, but simply to delineate stratigraphy, soils or subsurface geologic structures. Certain stratigraphy or geologic structures if found to exist are known to increase the likelihood of subsurface cultural materials. If these areas can be mapped in advance of development projects, then guidance can be given to engineers on which areas to avoid for construction project.
