土丘是人工（或部分人工）竖立的山丘，覆盖着一个巨大的坟墓，通常是一个石室的形式。不同类型的土丘分布在世界各地，并在不同的考古学有趣的时期建成。使用非破坏性的地球物理调查进行研究，提供了机会，以成像其内部结构和证据，可以在以后的考古发掘，限制入侵调查特殊的异常。这项工作的主要创新部分在于结合使用探地雷达和电阻率层析成像在日本的一个未经勘探的墓地，Tobiotsuka Kofun，一个晚期Kofun时期的坟墓，大约在公元6世纪末7世纪初，位于冈山县。地球物理调查的有效性通过已知结构的正确成像和土丘组织的综合证据来证明，这使得可以绘制可靠的初步考古解释，并提供几个有趣的挖掘点的证据。所采用的方法学测量方法被验证为在类似的考古环境中进行调查的一个有价值的选择。
Burial mounds are artificially (or partially artificially) erected hills that cover a monumental tomb, usually in the form of a stone chamber. Different types of burial mounds are distributed worldwide and have built in different archaeologically interesting periods. Use of non destructive geophysical surveys for their study offer the opportunity to image their internal structure and evidence peculiar anomalies that can be later investigated with archaeological excavations, limiting invasiveness. The main innovative part of this work lies on the combined use of Ground Penetrating Radar and Electric Resitivity Tomography over and inside an unexplored burial site in Japan, the Tobiotsuka Kofun, a late Kofun period burial mound, dated approximately late 6th-early 7th century CE and located in the Okayama Prefecture. Effectiveness of the geophysical surveys is demonstrated by the correct imaging of known structures and by the combined evidence of the mound organization, which allowed to draw a reliable initial archaeological interpretation with evidence of several interesting excavation spots. The adopted methodological surveying approach was verified as a valuable choice for investigations in similar archaeological settings.
