Abstract
The work is devoted to geophysical research of archaeological sites in order to optimize time-consuming and costly archaeological excavations. The main purpose of geophysical work is to identify the layout and degree of preservation of the remnants of buildings and craft workshops, as well as defining the boundaries of the cultural layer. The implementation of this complex methodology of archaeological work is planned at the Chersonesus Necropolis, located near Quarantine Bay. An optimal methodology for the integration of shallow electrical prospecting methods for the localization of burial structures, taking into account the peculiarities of the geological structure of the rocky necropolis massif, has been developed. The implementation of the experimental methodological stage of work allowed to justify the feasibility of further geophysical studies to determine the boundaries of the monument of the archaeological heritage "Necropolis at Quarantine Bay".
