Abstract:
The project is generally focused on two main goals: introducing the geochemical methods and data intertpretation into geophysical research, and the data integration and combined processing (as geophysical and geochemical data are of various character). Six main aims will be followed in the project: i) Data types synthesis (synthesis of information about variety of data types processed in geophysical and geochemical research as background for further work); ii) Identification of right analytical processes (some data has to be processed only in some particular manners); iii) The relationships between measured variables and soil conditions (the geophysics needs to answer some of these questions in order to do better data modelling); iv) Methodics of standardized processing (there should be produced some manuals and rules of how to rightly process the data and vizualize them); v) Software sollution (standardized processing should be automatize through some form of scripts like for R Statistical environment); vi) Workshop / training school – the project should be concluded by training school for specialists and also non-specialists – not only archeologists or archeo-geophysicists, bot also e.g. foresters, farmers, land owners or archaeological heritage workers).
