Abstract

Geomorphological systems investigations were carried out to guide the archaeological prospection in a subway station in São Paulo. It was considered the natural dynamics of each geomorphological system and the anthropogenic activity that occurred during urbanization. The results were mapped and helped in the indication of sectors with highest probability of containing archaeological traces. The research allowed the identification of anthropogenic geomorphological changes related to urbanization, and how these changes modified the archaeological layers disposition.
