Geophysical prospection at floridablanca archaeological site, san julian bay, argentina

We present the application of three geophysical methods—ground-penetrating radar, resistivity and electromagnetic induction—to the Floridablanca archaeological site at San Julián Bay, Argentina. The objective of the prospection was to detect buried archaeological structures—mostly adobe walls—to del...
