Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a commonly used remote sensing technique in archaeology. It uses radar pulses to create an image of the subsurface features and can detect buried walls, pits, and other structures. Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), on the other hand, is a radiocarbon dating technique and is not used for detecting buried features. Electronic spades and dowsing rods are not recognized as legitimate remote sensing techniques in archaeology.
