Geophysical Investigation of the Gnezdilovo-12 Burial Mound Necropolis (Suzdal’ Opolie)

We present the results of geophysical survey of the Gnezdilovo-12 burial mound necropolis, which was completely destroyed by plowing. Geophysical data are in good correlation with the results of archaeological excavations, maps of the 19th century, and the surface artifact distribution. The investigation of Gnezdilovo-12 is one of the first full-scaled geophysical surveys of the destroyed burial site in European Russia. It enables the confident interpretation of the site structure and 3D reconstruction of the burial mound landscape.
