Method of detecting buried features of archaeological sites. The fill of pits and ditches, or hollow chambers, may resonate if the ground is struck with a heavy implement. Bosing has been successful in finding sites (particularly tomb chambers), but it is not as objective as other geophysical methods of investigation.
