Final Report of Geophysical Investigations at the Pio Pico Restoration Project, Whittier California
Abstract
Geophysical investigations were conducted at four locations within the Pio Pico State Historic Park in Whittier, California. The purpose of the geophysical surveys was to locate and map modern cultural and potential archaeological features for future excavation. Those data could then be integrated with geophysics to produce maps of sensitive archaeological remains to be avoided or excavated prior to park re-development. Field surveys were conducted in March and August, 2001. Three geophysical techniques were employed: ground penetrating radar (GPR), electromagnetic conductivity (EM), and total magnetic field measurement (MAG).
