Various mapping methods for Carnac
As part of a geophysical prospecting campaign, various methods and know-how never before used at Carnac were tested.
Carnac is one of Europe's most emblematic megalithic sites. For the first time, the campaign will also map all the structures associated with the Carnac alignments. Geophysical prospecting equipment (georadar, magnetometer, resistivimeter, etc.) will be used to detect buried megalithic remains. The campaign is led by a multi-disciplinary scientific team of archaeologists and geophysicists.
