Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Archaeological Prospection focuses on the application of non-invasive geophysical and remote sensing techniques for the detection, mapping, and analysis of archaeological sites and features. The journal emphasizes the integration of multiple methodologies, including LiDAR, GPR, magnetometry, and satellite imagery, to investigate buried structures, settlement patterns, and funerary landscapes across various geographic regions and historical periods. A significant theme is the development and evaluation of advanced analytical approaches, such as deep learning and machine learning, to enhance the interpretation and reproducibility of prospection data.
