Nothing prevents you from digging deep holes at a known position, and wait for the tomography magic to happen :)
I don't think it has ever been used this way, though.
If the area to image at once is large, or to use the sun while it is higher up in the sky, one would need to dig deeper... I also guess that this works better at higer latitudes, where the sun has a wider range of angles over the year.
- AlotOfReading 6y agoYou'll find the water table is a bit of an issue and the deeper you dig, the more expensive it gets. In general, archaeologists don't have a lot of funding, so you'll see extreme cost sensitivity in methodologies.
- MayeulC 6y agoTouché :) But a dumb detector with a nice protective layer might be achievable, I guess? And maybe archeologists can get support from a local drilling company? Not sure how deep you'd need to dig, TBH, but that would be an interesting experiment.
