Geophysical insights into soil preservation and Neolithic settlement in Kuyavia's glacial till landscapes (Poland)

Puntos clave

• Soil topography influences the preservation of ancient longhouses, facilitating research on Neolithic settlements.
• Geophysical methods like GPR and RES improve detection of longhouses, overcoming challenges associated with traditional MAG surveys.
• The research highlights the role of (di)electric contrasts in enhancing the accuracy of geophysical surveys in glacial landscapes.
• Findings suggest that understanding soil preservation can inform archaeological approaches in areas with ancient settlements.
