Abstract
The knowledge that archaeological prospection is shaped by modern attitudes and procedures is important to the future of archaeology. Although geophysical studies have been applied to archaeological and historical sites over time with intermittent success, it is possible to derive great effects when used appropriately. It is most significant when applied in a well-integrated research design where interpretations are established and explored. The representation of survey data involves the knowledge of both archaeological evidence and the way it is stated in geophysical terms. Proper instrumentation, study design, and information processing are important for success, and these must be adapted according to the specific geology and archaeological evidence of each survey location. In this context, the regulation of information quality and spatial quality are important. This Special Issue of the Heritage journal expects to accumulate unique research articles on geophysical surveys for archaeology and cultural heritage preservation.

Summary
Geophysical survey data function as important indirect information for locating archaeological sites and advance new views while investigating existing heritage sites. Together with remote sensing (RS) and geographical information systems (GISs), it is being progressively incorporated into archeological examinations as the best arrangement, being quickly pertinent, productive, non-destructive, and requiring minimal intrusive effort This Special Issue on Geophysical Surveys for Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Preservation plans to feature the latest advances in geophysics concerning archaeology and heritage around the world, highlighting novelty and advanced works. The survey recognized features mentioned in texts, discovered previously unknown construction phases, located areas of moisture ingress around the courtyard, and identified the extent and composition of the building foundations Information gained from these scans, especially combined with printed sources, is an asset to the planning of restoration efforts and the understanding of the effects of past modifications [2]
