Following the successful deployment of electrical resistance survey in 2007 the geophysical surveys team continued in 2008 with two further prospection techniques, gradiometry and ground penetrating radar (GPR). The application of the two geophysical survey methodologies, in addition to the resistivity of 2007, would, it was hoped, provide a more holistic approach to the investigation of the sub-surface remains at Akkerman. Gradiometry was used over a total area of 0.8ha within both the Garrison Yard and the Civil Yards. A number of ephemeral rectilinear anomalies could be observed along the base of the northwest section of the Civil Yard and the buildings, revealed during the 2007 resistivity survey, were also evident.   more »
