Esse sítio é localizado na bacia hidrográfica da laguna dos Patos, na margem esquerda do canal São Gonçalo, entre os municípios de Pelotas e Capão do Leão. Foi utilizada uma metodologia que envolve técnicas de eletrorresistividade, eletromagnetismo, planimetria e escavações arqueológicas, objetivando-se descrever e interpretar aspectos da composição do espaço arquitetônico dos montículos. Como resultado, foram mapeados eventos elétricos indicadores de áreas de atividades internas e externas aos montículos, resultado de diferentes atividades comportamentais relativas à construção e uso quotidiano do espaço. / 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.

Archaeogeophysics, the use of eophysical mapping techniques to recover archaeological information, is being used with increasing success in North America. Archaeologists can often use geophysics as a tool for collecting data suitable for direct archaeological interpretation (Kvamme 2003). In some cases, geophysics can be used to map entire archaeological landscapes providing an image of the site that is not easily achievable through the use of traditional archaeological excavations. This dissertation uses archaeogeophysical data from three prehistoric sites to gain insights into their layout and community organization as well as explore the possibilities and potentials of using broad scale geophysical surveys in North American archaeological research. / text
