Paleointensity, or paleomagnetic intensity, refers to the strength of the Earth's magnetic field at a specific time in the past as recorded in geological or archaeological materials. This intensity can be measured in rocks, sediments, or archaeological artifacts that contain magnetic minerals, such as magnetite. When these materials form, they can capture the direction and intensity of the Earth's magnetic field at that time.
