Abstract

Archaeological fieldwork no longer needs to focus solely on excavation owing to the variety of non-invasive survey techniques that are now available. Essentially, these techniques offer the opportunity to record and analyse macro- and micro-scale evidence pertaining to a site, and they are non-destructive. Many of these methods can also be employed should excavation take place in order to provide a detailed record of any evidence found. This chapter provides an overview of a variety of non-invasive methods which are particularly suited to early-stage in-field investigations.
