Resum

The important role of geophysics in archaeology in recent years is well known. The information obtained in a non-intrusiveand non-destructive way has facilitated the documentation of archaeological sites, their excavation and subsequentinterpretation, as well as the maintenance and care of the Heritage.The C.A.I. of Archaeometry of the UCM is in charge of advising and carrying out geophysical studies in archaeologicalsites. In this way, their extension, characteristics and degree of conservation are documented. Thanks to these data,knowledge of the heritage are achieved without the need to destroy the remains.Normally, thanks to geophysical studies, large cities, buildings and structures built with elements such as stone, brick,adobe and even cement are detected and discovered.However, the documentation with geophysical techniques of negative structures (excavated in the sediment) such asditched enclosures, pits, tombs, huts or the negatives of already devastated structures is less common. The reason is thatthese structures are usually filled with the same sediment that surrounds them, so the change of medium does not presenthardly any contrast, so its interpretation is very complex.In this work, we present a series of archaeological finds of this type thanks to the joint work of two geophysical techniques,such as ground penetration radar and electrical tomography. Due to the difficulty of documentation of this type ofnegative elements, interpretation techniques have had to be remodelled and tools adjusted to achieve optimal results.In the same way, some examples of "false positive" structures documented with ground penetration radar will be shown.In these cases, the problem arises when geological elements can be interpreted as anthropic structures.
