晋阳古城遗址考古地球物理特征

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 ways 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 differentiating rate, we take the method combining the high-density resistivity technique and geophysical prospecting radar to carry out geophysical exploration on several ancient culture layers and target areas of relics in Jinyang. In this paper, we present the rich knowledge of the geophysical characters, which has laid a solid foundation for geophysical exploration in the archaeological study on the ancient city relics in Jinyang in the future.
