How is the data interpreted?
Interpretation of the data can be made by examining the responses recorded. Experience indicates that certain archaeological features often produce similar, recognisable responses. Different formats of the data are examined. Usually, as XY-trace plot and dot density plot, along with the greyscale images. Responses are classed into different groups, dictated by their shape and strength. Responses that are clearly archaeological and have other evidence to imply the responses are such are termed Archaeology. Responses which may be archaeological are termed ?Archaeology. Responses that are modern in origin, or believed to be natural also have their own category. Modern material can often be differentiated as having a large ferrous response. Natural responses often have a sinuous incoherent form. The data is interpreted by the geophysicist using his or her experience. This interpretation provides the archaeologists with an understandable and useful plot of the geophysics results. Following
