This is a multi-channel GPR system containing nine transmitting and eight receiving antennas with a center frequency of 400 MHz placed in a box mounted in the back of a small tractor. Each survey line delivers 16 individual radar reflection profiles. The 16-channel system covers a 128 cm-wide swath for each driven track, making this instrument a highly efficient tool for large-scale archaeological and geophysical surveys. A totalstation and a prism (Leica Geosystems) mounted on top of the MIRA antenna array are used for data positioning. Additionally, a calibrated odometer is attached to one wheel of the tractor, providing exact inline distance information. Under favorable conditions, the instrument can survey several hectares of data per day. In the present study, the entire area (220 m x 135 m = 2.97 ha) was covered in just under 4 days. The data were subsequently processed using a self-developed program called Multichannel-GPR.

The ancient lake Duvensee (10,000–6500 cal. BCE) has been studied for almost a century, providing archaeological sites consisting of bark mats and hazelnut-roasting hearths situated on small sand banks deposited by the glacier. No method is yet available to locate these features before excavation. Therefore, a key method for understanding the living conditions of hunter-gatherer groups is to reconstruct the paleoenvironment with a focus on the identification of areas that could possibly hostMesolithic camps and well-preserved archaeological artefacts. We performed a 16-channel MALÅ Imaging Radar Array (MIRA) system survey aimed at understanding the landscape surrounding the find spot Duvensee WP10, located in a hitherto uninvestigated part of the bog. Using an integrated approach of high-resolution ground radar mapping and targeted excavations enabled us to derive a 3D spatio-temporal landscape reconstruction of the investigated sector, including paleo-bathymetry, stratigraphy, and shorelines around the Mesolithic camps. Additionally, we detected previously unknown islands as potential areas for yet unknown dwelling sites. We found that the growth rates of the islands were in the order of approximately 0.3 m2/yr to 0.7 m2/yr between the late Preboreal and the Subboreal stages. The ground-penetrating radar surveying performed excellently in all aspects of near-surface landscape reconstruction as well as in identifying potential dwellings; however, the direct identification of small-scale artefacts, such as fireplaces, was not successful because of their similarity to natural structures.
