Utilização do Geo-Radar nos trabalhos de escavação do Sítio Teixeira Lopes, Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, Brasil

This paper shows the GPR's results of its application on the study of the Teixeira Lopes Archeological Site, Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The excavation works took place in October 2004, in an attempt to verify archeological evidences that resisted the destruction of the site during the opening of two silos, in 1982. The material remains, as ceramic fragments and quartz chips, were quite deteriorated. In order to dinamize the work the area was profiled with the GPR (Ramac) through parallel lines 1 m apart, with 400 MHz antenna set, and interval acquisition at 0,05m. The radargrams detected some anomalies that were checked in loco and identified as wires, plastic, garbage, and others. This demonstrates that the Site is being even more disturbed since the 1982. Afterall, the GPR showed success in the application in this research.
