This document outlines the steps taken to collect and process ground penetrating radar (GPR) data. It discusses:
1) GPR data was collected using a GSSI SIR-20 system with 270 MHz antennas along lines at an archaeological site.
2) The data was then processed using trace balancing, trace editing, and eigen-imaging filters to remove noise and enhance reflections.
3) Three types of anomalies were identified in the processed 2D data - strong reflections likely caused by structures, weak hyperbolic reflections probably caused by small objects, and horizontal reflections around 5-8 ns thought to indicate the water table.

fter applying the appropriate processing steps. Three groups of anomalies can be distinguished based on reflection characteristics in the 2D model. Strong reflection anomalies m caused by archaeological structures such as walls or floors. ueak reflection anomalies m yperbolic anomalies in the 2D model likely caused by small objects in the ground. Such small anomalies in the present study were interpreted as subsurface features, such as boulders, bricks or tree roots. orizontally linear anomalies mèormally observed in most profiles at the twomway time between 5m8 ns, which was interpreted as the wow signal Strong Reflection
