historia geofizyki archeologicznej ; metoda magnetyczna ; magnetometr protonowy ; magnetometr typu fluxgate ; magnetometr pompowany optycznie

The article presents an overview of the history of the magnetic method in archaeological research, from its first use in 1958 in England through the 1990s. Brief presentations of the history of research using this method have already appeared in general works dedicated to archaeological geophysics, but merely as introductory chapters, which have focused on initial stages of the application of particular methods (chiefly magnetic and electrical resistivity) and highlighted achievements in the field in Western Europe, primarily the UK. In the present text, the author has also included the history of the use of the magnetic method in other parts of Europe (Central and Eastern Europe) and on other continents. He analyzes technological changes in the instruments used for research, from the proton magnetometer and magnetic balance to the increasingly advanced fluxgate and optically pumped magnetometers. He also examines the changes in measurement technology and data processing that have occurred and the factors shaping the development of the method
