Archaeological geophysical prospection in peatland environments.
… as the nature of the substrate changes. A prospection tool is badly needed to address these wet1and areas as conventional prospection methods such as aerial photography, field walking and remote sensing are not able to detect sites under the protective over burden. This thesis presents …

Aerial Thermography in Archaeological Prospection: Applications & Processing
… is one of the least utilized archaeological prospection methods, yet it has great potential for detecting anthropogenic anomalies. Thermal infrared radiation is absorbed and reemitted at varying rates by all objects on and within the ground depending upon their density, composition, and …

The Schlumberger Array in geophysical prospection for archaeology.
… the Schlumberger for use in archaeological prospection. This has been achieved via a co-ordinated use of laboratory simulation and-field studies. Initial fieldwork in England suggested. that the. - use of point electrodes created response patterns that were dependent upon the relative …

Techniques of Geophysical Prospection as applied to Near Surface Structure Determination
… and earth resistivity techniques of geophysical prospection are considered in detail, with respect to their application in the detection of discrete, near-surface features. The research includes the design and development of instruments to facilitate these measurements, in both laboratory and …

Large-Scale Archaeological Prospection of Early Modern Battlefields: Geophysical Surveys at the Battlefield of Waterloo
… the role of large-scale minimally-invasive prospection methods for the archaeological investigation of early modern battlefields. This is explored using the Napoleonic battlefield of Waterloo, Belgium (1815) as a case study. Methodological focus is on the use of near- surface geophysical …

A multi-temporal approach to using multispectral remote sensing for the prospection of clandestine mass graves in temperate environments.
… and investigations. As a consequence the prospection for clandestine mass graves is at the forefront of international forensics and is considered of ever increasing importance. This study investigates the utility of archive orbital multispectral imagery for the detection of clandestine …

Developing a methodology for archaeological prospection on alluvial floodplains with a case study involving the Winckley Lowes barrow sequence, Lancashire.
… methodology for non-intrusive archaeological prospection on dynamic alluvial floodplains. A combination of LiDAR, gradiometry, field-walking and topographic surveying are employed on floodplains on the confluence of the Rivers Ribble, Hodder and Calder near Clitheroe, Lancashire. This was …

Historic settlement on Unst, Shetland. An holistic study of abandoned settlements on Unst, Shetland utilising historical archaeology and prospection approaches
… detailed case studies integrated archaeological prospection techniques with the historical, archaeological and landscape contexts to form new narratives for the field remains around two abandoned house sites. Assessment of the historical settlement of Unst highlighted a much greater degree of …

Investigating components of prospective cognition in gibbons (<i>Hylobatidae</i>)
Complex prospection, requiring projection of one’s mental self into a subjective future time, has been proposed to be uniquely human, with ongoing debate as to the criteria necessary for assessment of this ability. Focus on this dichotomous framework of future directed thinking, assessing whether …

Individuals With Amnesia are not Stuck in Time: Evidence From Risky Decision-Making, Intertemporal Choice, and Scaffolded Narratives
… severity of amnesic cases episodic memory and prospection impairment by using structured and personally meaningful cues rather than the single cue words featured in the Galton-Crovitz paradigm. I replicated existing research showing that those with MTL damage have impaired ability to …

Prospecting the physicochemical past. Three dimensional geochemical investigation into the use of space in Viking Age sites in southern Norway using portable XRF.
… were developed that included coring as a prospection method combined with high-resolution GPR data. The combination of portable XRF and coring, both within excavation contexts and as prospection, allowed high resolution analysis directly onto the core. The minimal sample preparation …

Archaeological remote sensing: visualisation and analysis of grass-dominated environments using airborne laser scanning and digital spectral data
… airborne remote sensing data for archaeological prospection is not a novel concept, but it is one that has been brought to the forefront of current work in the discipline of landscape archaeology by the increasing availability and application of airborne laser scanning data (ALS). It is …

Biosynthetic engineering for the assembly of better drugs
… inaccessibility has heretofore stymied drug prospection in natural product space. However, recent applications of genetic approaches to decipher the biosynthetic code that guides the assembly of several natural product families have revealed that living systems methodically and repetitively …

Geophysical, geochemical and arable crop responses to archaeological sites in the Upper Clyde Valley, Scotland
… site was largely unresponsive to geophysical prospection techniques. These mixed responses prompted a closer examination of why barley crops respond to plough-levelled remains, and why the geophysical data gathered tend to correlate with the growth responses. To allow an examination of the …

The Effect of Episodic Future Thinking on a Novel Measure of Behavioral Economic Demand for Exercise
… future thinking (EFT; vivid, personalized prospection of future events) in adults not meeting physical activity guidelines (n = 127) on demand for exercise and delay discounting (sensitivity to delayed rewards). We observed reduced delay discounting in participants randomized to engage in …
