ABSTRACT
This chapter presents three case studies: two at archaeological sites and the third at the site of buried unexploded ordnance. The detection and location of buried unexploded ordnance (UXO) has significantly complicated many base closures. A variety of inert ordnance are buried at this range which is used to train the military's explosive ordnance disposal specialists and as a test site for evaluating the efficacy of new methods to locate buried UXO. Many archaeological excavations focus on the so called 'elite' sectors of sites such as public and religious centers and the residences of the most important individuals and families. From a geophysical perspective, Titris Hoyuk is important because it has become a test bed for the use of magnetometry in characterizing an archaeological site. The physical conditions at Titris Hoyuk make it an ideal site to study both the elite and domestic culture of the Early Bronze Age in the Near East.
