REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY AT MEAD FARM, YARNTON CASSINGTON PROJECT, OXFORDSHIRE, 1993
Author(s): Neil Linford
Despite the presence of Victorian gravel workings a substantial palimpsest of archaeological anomalies has been revealed by this magnetometer survey. These results underline the importance of an understanding of local geomorphology to the success of geophysical techniques within the Yarnton Cassington Project area, particularly when interpreting topsoil magnetic susceptibility results. Detailed magnetic measurements on subsurface soil samples recovered from the site aided the identification of archaeological magnetic enhancement.
