| Abstract(in English) | It is generally considered that that Wooly Mammoths have been extinct for around 10,000 years BP, however it is unknown whether the reasons for their extinction were due to an abrupt change in the Earth's climate, disease, or to indiscriminate hunting. This paper describes a geophysical investigation conducted in 2004 to hunt for remains of Mammoths to assist in studying the causes of their extinction. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Multifrequency Electromagnetics (MF-EM) were used to map the subsurface of the permafrost at sites along the Artic coastline of Northern Siberia. The sites were preselected by helicopter reconnaissance, followed by ground geophysical surveys. The results obtained from one control site plus two field sites are presented here. It is concluded that GPR is a valid method for mapping skeletal remains from Mammoths, however there is little signature obtained with MF-EM due to the poor contrast between the remains and the properties of the surrounding permafrost. |
