Geophysical Characters for Archaeology in the Ancient City of JinYang, China

The ancient city relics in Jinyang have a long history, and Jinyang is a very important burial region of ancient culture. It has abundant relics with unique burial forms under the ground. Due to the wide measured range of the target layers and target articles which is from centimeters to meters, and the different requests of the resolution, we take the method combining with the High Density Resistivity Technique(HDRT) and Geophysical Prospecting Radar(GPR) to carry through geophysical testing exploration on several ancient culture layers and target areas of relics in Jinyang. In this paper, we have gotten rich knowledge of the geophysical characters, which has laid a solid foundation of geophysical exploration for archaeological study on the ancient city relics in Jinyang.
