Micromagnetic investigations of medieval settlement structures at Kalo castle (Denmark)

Results of micromagnetic investigations at Kal phi peninsula are presented and discussed. We developed a technique to calculate the optimum sensor con figuration based on a given grid spacing. This configuration guarantees a m aximum spatial resolution while minimizing the influence of near-surface no ise and discretization effects. It is demonstrated how to incorporate a pri ori information based on the operators assessment of the state of knowledge . Surface findings and excavation results were classified as hard boundary conditions for the interpretation. All remote sensing data and interpretati on results of prior investigations were regarded as still having a higher d egree of uncertainty. Apart from the application of standard filtering and image processing techniques to magnetic data, other processing procedures s uch as inverse modeling were applied. An image of the urban plan of the are a under study is finally presented. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All righ ts reserved.
