Non-destructive imaging for archaeological targets can be uniquely challenging, especially for sites composed of organic features such as wood and earth. Our team has the technology and experience to detect and model those features in detail and provide meaningful analysis.
Investigations range from individual features to broad area scans targeting whole settlements. Ground-penetrating radar, magnetic gradiometry, electrical resistivity, and magnetic susceptibility are popular modalities for finding and investigating archaeological targets with completely non-invasive technology.

Featured Project: Mercer University Campus
Bigman Geophysical was contacted to conduct an investigation into the buried landscape at the original campus of Mercer University. The university was initially established as a pair of humble log cabins but grew to become an unknown number of buildings that filled the old campus, but no surviving map could be found showing those buildings.
In only four days, our team used GPR and Magnetometry to map historic buildings at the site, with results so precise that even footpaths made by students cutting through the lawns were visible in the imagery.
"Bigman Geophysical and the LearnGPR Academy have been important components of success for Enhanced Scanning for training new hires, renting equipment, and consulting on important projects. "
"Bigman Geophysical has been a true game changer for Pegasus Environmental. Their professional support and training regimen is unparalleled within the industry. This has enabled us to advance to a new level."
"Bigman Geophysical has been instrumental in introducing us to the science of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). Understanding the location of underground utilities and possible subsurface voids is critical to our success. The support the Bigman Geophysical team has provided us at every step from procuring, to using the GPR equipment, to analyzing the GPR survey results has been world class."
