Geophysical Survey (archaeology)
In archaeology, geophysical survey is ground-based physical sensing techniques used for archaeological imaging or mapping. Remote sensing and marine surveys are also used in archaeology, but are generally considered separate disciplines. Other terms, such as "geophysical prospection" and "archaeological geophysics" are generally synonymous. Overview Geophysical survey is used to create maps of subsurface archaeological features. Features are the non-portable part of the archaeological record, whether standing structures or traces of human activities left in the soil. Geophysical instruments can detect buried features when their physical properties contrast measurably with their surroundings. In some cases individual artifacts, especially metal, may be detected as well. Readings taken in a systematic pattern become a data set that can be rendered as image maps. Survey results can be used to guide excavation and to give archaeologists insight into the patterning of non-exca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Oud Haerlem Castle
Oud Haerlem Castle was a very strong castle in Holland. In 1351 it was demolished after a long siege. Location The location of Oud Haerlem castle is on the eastern fringe of what is now Heemskerk, just west of Amsterdam. It is 400 meter south-southeast of Assumburg Castle, which probably also dates from the thirteenth century, but was much smaller at the time. Somewhat further north northwest of Assumburg was Poelenburg Castle, of which nothing remains. About three kilometer north northwest of Oud Haerlem is Marquette Castle, which used to be called Heemskerk Castle. Marquette Castle was a large round water castle, of which only later, more square parts remain. The unusually high concentration of castles in the area has been related to the contemporary geography of the area. The 1708 map still shows how the IJ reached far inland in medieval times. It continued in the now disappeared Wijkermeer, and left only the dunes and a very narrow strip of land to connect the parts of Ho ...

Castle Characteristics Heemskerk, the first castle The first version of Marquette Castle was a round water castle dating from the 13th century. The round water castle is known from many old pictures. These suggest at least one building along its wall. They also show its later use as a walled garden with a pond. In 1802 the last remains of the water castle were demolished. All that remained were the very wide moats. In 2021 the castle terrains were investigated with ground-penetrating radar and two other non-invasive techniques. These showed the water castle, as well as its gatehouse. The outer diameter of the water castle proved to have been about 40 m. This is larger than Egmond Castle's round water castle which measures slightly less than 30 m. Apart from the known round water castle, other parts of the first cas ...
