Ground-penetrating radar and geoelectrical simulations of data from the Floridablanca archaeological site

In this work we characterize the electromagnetic response of archaeological remains of a Spanish fortress situated onthe Atlantic coast in Patagonia (Argentina). The fortress, part of the Floridablanca colony, founded in the eighteenth century, has been surveyed with non-invasive electromagnetic tec...
