Arquitetura invisível: mapeamento arqueogeofísico do Sítio Pavão 01

Abstract

This work presents an archeo-geophysical research plan for the survey of the site Pavão 01, compounded by the PSG-20 and PSG-21 earthen mounds (cerritos). This site is located in the Patos Lagoon basin, on the left bank of the São Gonçalo Channel, between the municipalities of Pelotas and Capão do Leão. It was utilized a methodology that involves techniques of electro-resistivity, electromagnetism, planimetry and archaeological excavations, aiming to describe and infer about aspects of the composition of the architectural space of the earthen mounds. As a result, electrical events were mapped indicating areas of internal and external activities to the mounds, resulting from different behavioral activities related to the construction and daily use of space.
