The Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is able to find ancient artifacts deep underground by dragging a "GPR device that looked like a lawnmower across the ground." (p.11) With this method you are able to go directly above the areas unlike with the hurricane hunting method which "do not fly over a hurricane for several reasons." (p.9). The GPR also scans the area underground first to see if there is even anything down there where as the method for finding buried treasure undersea uses, "mailboxes to excavate holes in the sandy ocean bottom." (p.8) That method can be time and money costing. The GPR is able to get the closest and most effective results in a non time …show more content…
Their ideas may be based on how fast the information can be transmitted. "transmit bursts of data to the airplane twice every second." (p.10). That method does bring a lot of data but it is not always completely accurate especially with its satellite imaging which has "limitations". The GPR method saves so much time and money it is obviouslly the most advanced. "Within three weeks... found about 70 sites" (p.5) each of the sites have valueable artifacts and knowledge for others. "if... approached... as a traditional food survey... taken 3 and a half years" (p.5). This technology now saves years of time which is much more valuable than information that is not completely
