Abstract
AbstractGround‐penetrating radar (GPR) was used at an excavation site of a Neolithic flint mine in southern Germany to establish the subsurface geology of the mine and to aid in the location of mine shafts in unexcavated areas. Three radar facies were identified to characterize the geology of the study area. A test GPR line surveying known Neolithic mine shafts provided calibrated results for the identification of new shafts. Forty radar lines with a length of 40 m identified the locations of previously unknown shafts in unexcavated areas. The GPR results provide archaeologists with valuable additional information on the extent of the former flint mine. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
