Description
Summary:Several factors disturb the archaeological registry such as the movement of sand masses and the traffic of people and animals in the area. This research aims to assist about the comprehension of the dune dynamics impacts on the visibility of the archaeological marks of the site RS - LC: 73 through the application of Geodesy and Topography tools. This work have sought to identify the relation between the intensity measures and wind directions during the period of study and the movement of dunes that nowadays set up part of the archaeological site. Thus, it enabled wide understanding of the site behavior and the achievement of deductive considerations about its aspects in the future.
