Abstract

Information related to the evolution of geomagnetic field in space and time are recorded in the rocks and are the subject of archaeomagnetic studies. These studies allowed us to better understanding the geomagnetic field evolution as well as to improve our comprehension of several geological aspects of the historic evolution of the Earth and human history. Here, based on the description of the functioning principia and models of past and presently used magnetometers we provide, based on our past experience, some suggestions to improve accuracy of archaeomagnetic measurements on fired archaeological materials and volcanic products.
