North American Database of Archaeological Geophysics
The North American Database of Archaeological Geophysics (NADAG) is a database and website that aims to promote use, education, communication, and a knowledge base of the practice of archaeological geophysics in North America. Most archaeologists in this continent have little knowledge of geophysical methods or of their potential to archaeology, and their level of use in projects remains low. This circumstance exists despite the many benefits of these techniques and large advances in the quality of results in recent years. Yet, geophysical methods in archaeology are routinely employed and widely accepted in Europe, and are actually mandated in several countries where national databases and websites of results are maintained. The NADAG project will help to correct this imbalance.
