This research presents the results of the application of geophysical methods
noninvasive, in order to indicate possible sites of deposition of materials in
archaeological survey at a site located in the municipality of estuarine Penalva in the
state of Maranhão. The methods used were Magnetometry and Ground Penetrating
Radar (GPR). The magnetic measurements were used to indicate the locations for
excavation. The GPR was used to confirm the anomalies generated by the magnetic
method, providing fewer errors when the magnetic anomalies are not caused by
archaeological features. Were 14 profiles performed GPR using an antenna 400 MHz
and 1664 magnetic measurements using the magnetometer. During the archaeological
survey conducted, based on the geophysical anomalies provided by the team led by
archaeologists Deusdedit Carneiro Leite Filho and Luiz Fernando Tavares Marques
made five excavations at the site, which allowed them to rescue several ceramic pieces.
The results presented in this study allowed us to verify and evaluate the potential of
geophysical prospecting method to assist in archaeological studies. |
