Our research methods

Archaeology applies various methods when it comes to the search for archaeological remains. Ideally, archaeological sites are detected using non-invasive prospecting methods, which can either identify unknown sites or reveal certain characteristic aspects of archaeological sites, such as architectural structures or funerary monuments.

These non-invasive methods also come into play during preliminary studies for excavations. The archeological excavation, on the other hand, is a traditional archaeological method involving the controlled and documented destruction of the original archaeological site and is therefore a destructive method.
