Abstract

Magnetic, resistivity, and ground penetrating radar (GPR) measurements were carried out on an archaeological site under investigation to find remains buried by ancient people that could have lived in the area. Archaeological excavation on places indicated by magnetic anomalies revealed concentration of ceramic fragments and intact pottery. The correlation between resistivity measurements and the soil profile described in the area suggest the 1810 to 2560 Ohm.m range as the most representative for the archaeological occupation layer. GPR images showed anomalous features correlating to several magnetic anomalies. Those features, however, are not very conclusive to represent the searched remains. Because of that, GPR is not recommended to be the main tool for archaeological prospecting in the area.
