GPR and Excavations at Stora Seyla

| 0 comments

Greetings from Iceland! My name is Laura Ng, I am an incoming graduate student at UMass Boston and I will aso be writing some of the blog entries. Please bare with us while we continue to add to and update this blog.

At Stora Seyla we have been doing a few things, one of them being GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar). Brian, Kelly, and Rosie have been using a box-like machine to do GPR. The box is dragged back and forth across the site many times in order to get the best image of what is below the ground.

 Another crew has been working on removing and uncovering last year’s backdirt with shovels. As you can see, some areas have been uncovered and we have started excavating where last year’s crew left off.
