• Sommario/riassunto: This publication focuses on geophysical prospection and its use in archaeological research, particularly in the context of development-led archaeology projects. We compare the results of geophysical surveys with the results of excavations in large construction projects in order to assess the importance and accuracy of these survey methods. Our aim is to highlight the advantages and benefits of geophysical prospection while recognising its limitations. We examine the factors that influence the success of prospection in locating and interpreting archaeological sites in different locations and regions of the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
