Tell es-Safi, Israel, Summer 2004
Tracking the Trench
GPS Coordinates & Elevations of GPR Survey Grids:
GPS coordinates and elevations for GPR Survey Grids at Tell es-Safi Study
during the summer 2004 excavation season were
acquired using a handheld Magellan GPS device, where
precision is only available within a few meters.
Accuracy for anomalies seen in GPR visualizations can also
vary within the same degree.
Elevation information as given here in meters (M) is
available on the topographical
site survey map, but has not been factored into the
GPR depth slices at this time, and has not yet been
acquired with sufficient accuracy to be input as such.
