Title
New perspectives to save cultural heritage
Author
Altan, M. Orhan

CIP A 2003 XIX th International Symposium, 30 September - 04 October, 2003, Antalya, Turkey
3. CONCLUSION
Geophysical (mainly magnetometric) surveys of large inner
and also outer areas of hillforts show new method of
documentation and mapping of abandoned prehistoric and
Early medieval fortified sites. The identification of
subsurface only preserved archaeological situation by
geophysical methods within cooperation of archaeologist
(aerial prospection, field walking survey, eventually trenches)
should be used for new area assessment of extent and
structure of these protected important archaeological
monuments. The same geophysical results it is possible to
use as in scale of the whole sites as in more detailed scale of
particular features where we can identify and separate more
different subsurface archaeological situations. Quick and (in
comparison with destructive archaeological methods) non-
expensive wide area geophysical surveys could bring a new
view on the real anthropogenous activities of the whole sites
including the information about the present state of
preservation of archaeological situations beneath the soil.
