The article discusses the systematic use of the geophysical method Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) in archaeological intra-site surveys conducted at Port site (PA 00788), located in urban area in the municipality of Santarém, State of Pará, Brazil. The method indicated different types of anomalies which have been tested by excavations. The results pointed to the existence of anthropogenic features for deposition of trash and activity areas for production of lithic artifacts, besides a secondary burial in ceramic urn, improving the knowledge on domestic contexts of the Santarém culture (1000-1600 A.D.).
