Abstract

This paper describes the arrangement and development of a geophysical prospection carried out by means of continuous current in the Copper Age mining site El Barronal, Almería (Spain). The geophysical problem is exposed with detail and is explained the resolution method that we use. Furthermore, the results obtained by means of the geophysical survey are contrasted with the data supplied by a statigraphical prospecting. At last, diverse notions are proposed to obtain a suitable strategy to carry on in posterior prospectings.
