Locating Graves in Different Soil Types and Burial Ages in Pulau Pinang using Ground Penetrating Radar

Ground-penetration radar (GPR) is a geophysical tool widely applied in archaeological and forensic research, such as identifying the exact position of graves. A detailed GPR survey was conducted on cemeteries Permatang Pasir Titi Teras, Penang Island. Moving 500MHz antenna along parallel transects inside grids used to collect data. The study’s aim present two case studies with varying soil types burial ages. Analysis reflection shape, strength signal polarity helped interpretation anomalies. results varied depending type; sandy field, investigations were clearer less complicated than clayey sand field. When conditions are ideal (low conductivity areas little vegetation), provides highly informative precise results. Time-slices representations method provide details about subsurface at certain depth.
