Archeology

Archaeology uses geomagnetism to study the ground without excavation. FOERSTER fluxgate magnetometers detect even the smallest variations in the Earth’s magnetic field caused by buried structures or artifacts – making invisible traces of past civilizations visible again.

Understanding the past requires tools that reveal what lies beneath the surface without disturbing it. Using highly sensitive FOERSTER magnetometers, archaeologists can measure magnetic field changes caused by ancient foundations, roads, or settlement structures. These differences remain detectable for centuries and are recorded with high precision. Advanced evaluation software then visualizes the data, allowing detailed mapping of historical and prehistoric sites and helping to plan targeted excavations. With decades of experience in magnetic measurement technology, FOERSTER supports archaeological research worldwide – providing accuracy, efficiency, and non-destructive insight into human history.
