GPR time slice image depicting buried adobe communal structure
Mission San Antonio de Padua is a late 18th / early 19th century
Spanish mission located in Monterey County, Calfornia. Archaeo-Physics conducted
a multi-method geophysical investigation over the buried remains of a large adobe
communal structure that was originally built to provide housing for Native
American residents of the mission.
The case study features a
ground penetrating radar (GPR) animation and interactive data exploration and
analysis tool. Data image transparencies are used to created composite images, and
the advantages of processing GPR data using GEOPLOT software noise reduction techniques
are also demonstrated and discussed. (magnetic,
