Wyniki badań geofizycznych oraz weryfikacyjnych badań wykopaliskowych na stanowisku nr 53 w Sadowiu, pow. opatowski

The aim of this article is to assess the possibility of using magnetometry to identify immovable features at the multicultural site No. 53 in Sadowie, Opatów district. A gradientometer device was used for the study, which measures the degree of variation in the Earth’s magnetic field. The research was conducted on an area of 1.25 ha within the southwestern part of the site. The obtained results were then verified in the course of excavation work. Five immovable features reflecting clear magnetic signals were exposed in the planned archaeological excavations. The excavation research provided insights into the nature of the site, documenting its extent and layout, among other things.
