Use of Geospatial Technologies for Non-Intrusive Archaeological Exploration

The Irish Mound Archeology Site project aimed to investigate the Rathcroghan mound in Ireland, believed to be the burial site of Queen Maud. Utilizing advanced geospatial technologies such as GPR, digital mapping, and magnetic gradiometry, researchers aim to uncover the hidden structures and artifacts within the mound. These non-intrusive methods provide rapid area coverage and detailed imaging of the subsurface, without the need for extensive excavation, thus preserving the site's integrity. Challenges such as limited information and difficult ground conditions are addressed through innovative solutions, showcasing the potential of geospatial technologies in archaeological exploration and heritage preservation.
