Archaeological investigations using geophysics at Chimney Rock Great House, Colorado

In this talk, we present results from a geophysical investigation at the Chimney Rock Great House using magnetics, electromagnetics, and DC resistivity. Our data is focused on a grid southwest of the Great House, where we use geophysics to detect potential buried walls. These walls may be covered by 1 to 3 m of fill as a result of nearby excavations in the 1920s, and should be approximately 0.5...

Wide-band Rock and Ore Samples Complex Permittivity Measurement

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is based on high-frequency electromagnetic wave propagation and its detecting targets are below the ground surface (Daniels, 2004; Jol, 2009). Velocity and attenuation are two important factors describing the electromagnetic wave in the media composed of rocks or soils. Velocity is inverse proportional to the root of the permittivity while other parameters are fix...

Lead and zinc dust depositions from ore trains characterised using lead isotopic compositions.

This study investigates an unusual source of environmental lead contamination - the emission and deposition of lead and zinc concentrates along train lines into and out of Australia's oldest silver-lead-zinc mine at Broken Hill, Australia. Transport of lead and zinc ore concentrates from the Broken Hill mines has occurred for more than 125 years, during which time the majority was moved in unco...
