Electromagnetic methods application for archaeological research

The present work outlines the advantages and drawbacks of the electromagnetic systems,<br>which could be used for archaeological research. It is shown that active sounding systems<br>have definite advantage for this task. The example of transient electromagnetic (TEM)<br>method application is given and a new specimen of such system adapted for archaeological<br>prospecting is presented The conclusion is made that the system using long cable with<br>harmonic current has good perspective and will be developed in short time.
