SUMMARY
Geophysics and archeology

Considerable interest in archeological
prospecting has been generated by the
search for the remains of the 17th Century
Dutch East Indiaman Het Wapen van
Amsterdam in SE-Iceland since 1960. The
principles of several current geophysical
exploration methods are reviewed. Prob-
lems of execution and interpretation are
explained in the light of experience and
local conditions. It is concluded that
detailed ground magnetic surveys are the
most promising search method. Much
attention must be given to geographical
research and to the critical examination of
all relevant historical documents. Accu-
rate position recording is also essential for
the satisfactory completion of such a sur-
vey: this has hitherto been a weak link in
much of the search effort in SE-Iceland.
