Its location, the sight-lines from the ridgetop, and the surface artifacts all supported this idea perhaps dating from the Bronze…

  • GPR on a High Mountain Lake, Colorado, USA

    Many GPR reflection profiles were collected using a canoe on a freshwater lake in the Rocky Mountains. Excellent radar wave penetration was measured, using both 270 and 400 MHz antennas. Reflection traces were placed into space using GPS and individual profiles were interpreted, with the lake bottom and other reflections digitized for three-dimensional mapping. It…
