Abstract: Kerkenes Mountain in Central North
Tukey was a very large
iron-age settlement of Persians. It is located at about 30 km south east of the
town of Yozgat. Archaeogeophysical surveys have been carried out in
the site along with the archaeological works since 1993. The site was surveyed
by a Geoscan gradiometer almost throughout. However, some form of noise was introduced
in the gradiometer measurements. In this paper, the noise introduced, was
filtered out by designing a wavenumber filter. Filtered maps show improved
images of the response of manmade structures.
