Application of a Ground-Penetrating Radar in the Characterization of the Archaeological Environment of Site GO-JA-02, Serran贸polis-GO: A Non-Invasive Approach for Archaeological Excavation Planning

This study used a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to characterize the archaeological environment of site GO-Ja-02 in Serran贸polis, Goi谩s, Brazil. In the Serran贸polis region, there are records of numerous human burials in archaeological sites located in predominantly sandy soils. Thus, this study proposed the application of a ground-penetrating radar to locate buried archaeological structures. Using a 400 MHz shielded antenna, the 2D data revealed distinct reflection patterns associated with subsurface elements such as rock blocks, roots, and rock surfaces, which were correlated with the anomalies observed in the depth slices of the generated pseudo-3D block. A ranking methodology was developed based on the archaeological context of the area and was used to indicate priority excavation areas. The results provided an understanding of the site鈥檚 archaeological environment, allowing for prior knowledge of areas to be excavated. The non-invasive GPR approach enabled a detailed investigation without disturbing the site, aiding in decision-making for the archaeological team. Furthermore, this study establishes a methodological foundation for future investigations, demonstrating the effectiveness of integrating advanced technologies into archaeological research.
