July 11th 1PM: Archaeological geophysics fieldtrip [location unspecified]

The pick was [then] used to hammer on the surface, and by this means,
the Angle Ditch was discovered. The sound produced by hammering on an
excavated part is much deeper than on an undisturbed surface, a
circumstance worth knowing when exploring a grass-grown downland,
though not applicable to cultivated ground.

[Augustus Pitt Rivers. Excavations in Cranborne Chase. Volume IV. 1895]

Geophysical techniques for archaeological prospecting imply a certain
"seeing beneath the soil," a divination which is akin to scrying
defined as looking within one medium in order to envision an other
matter or time. Such techniques frequently involve the examination of
electromagnetic phenomena mapped to location, and a search for
anomalous disturbances of local fields. Acoustic and geochemical
methods of examination can also be employed.

The fieldtrip will examine various approaches to this divining, for
example electromagnetic field strength measurement and magnetometer
surveying, to assess an important, as yet unspecified Berlin location
to be revealed on the 11th of July.

Meeting at 1PM [_____-micro_research] to journey to unspecified location.
