PROSPECCIÓN ARQUEOLÓGICA EN AMÉRICA CENTRAL MEDIANTE EL USO DE MÉTODOS GEOFÍSICOS

Abstract

The geophysical methods of prospecting are considered as an important tool in the archaeological detection, it allows to detect the remains of structures buried, thanks to the study of some of their physicalproperties. The numeric analysis of the electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic signs, products of the application of the cartography techniques in two important archaeological place of the Central American region that arepresented in this article, have allowed to put in evidence the contrast in the physical properties of the archaeological remains as well as of the adjacent floor.
