Abstract

AbstractThis chapter provides a retrospective of the work carried out by the Archaeological Prospection Laboratory, of the Institute of Anthropological Research, National Autonomous University of Mexico (IIA, UNAM). In 1983, geophysical surveys, combining different methods, were performed for the first time to study the San José Ixtapa archaeological site. Since, multi-technique geophysical surveys, integrating a wide range of complementary methods such as satellite remote sensing and soil analyses, have been performed at other sites in Mexico. To illustrate the development of the work carried out for this institution, the chapter syntheses the main achievement of some key case studies.
