Hmm, turns out there is a whole wiki page devoted to that and other methodologies for archaeological surveying: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geophysical_survey

  Non-invasive technologies are super-cool because we may not actually want to disturb stuff until we have the technology to do it properly. Some stuff we may never want to disturb for cultural or other reasons.

    Just stressing the "other reasons" part. In some countries people actually advocate for leaving stuff like this buried for fear of corrupt gov. officials handing off what they find to smugglers.
