Geophysical techniques offer many advantages and should be part of the common practice of field archaeology. However, geophysical instruments are useful only when they are operated correctly and efficiently. New or potential users want to obtain effective results as rapidly as possible and experienced users are constantly seeking to improve the results of geophysical surveys. The concept of the learning curve can be used to develop techniques and approaches that increase both the effectiveness of geophysical surveys in archaeology and the speed with which geophysical techniques are learned and applied. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
