Summary/Abstract: Recent decades’ advance in near-surface geophysics has allowed greater efficiency and accuracy in collecting geophysical data. While concerns for the discovery of new features and vestiges remain predominant, archaeological sites’ reconstruction has received less attention. The present paper describes hereinafter, some of the ways in which geophysics can be applied in order to provide valuable elements in the complicated process of the funerary sites’ reconstruction. We will use in our attempt the case of Telita - Celic Dere, an Iron Age Necropolis, located in the Northern part of Dobruja (Romania).
