Description:

The objective of this geophysical technical research was to aid the Ohio Department of Transportation’s (ODOT) Office of Environmental Services (OES) to provide a baseline understanding of geophysical techniques and their applications to various types of archaeological investigative situations, and to provide recommendations for the implementation of a geophysical survey program. Gray & Pape, INC. provided ODOT and the Ohio State Historic Preservation Office (Ohio SHPO) staff with the opportunity to test and train the recently purchased geophysical equipment: a Bartington Instruments Grad601-2 gradiometer, a GSSI SIR 4000 with a 350 MHz (Mega Hertz) antenna GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) unit, and a Geonics EM38-MK2 electrical magnetic conductivity meter. This equipment was employed at four locations in and around the Columbus, Ohio headquarters area at Union Village, Fort Ancient, Fort Jefferson and the State of Ohio, State New Insane Cemetery.
