AB : This article observes the main trends in GPR research through a bibliometric analysis ofa large corpus of contributions published between 1996 and 2021. This review aims to identify thescope of a flourishing methodology that has changed with technological advances and improvements.GPR research is at a similar development stage to other geophysical analysis techniques. Amongarchaeologists and historians interested in applying new techniques, the use of GPR has emergedas a critical tool to review historical themes. Covering from a new perspective with possibilitiesof success to the extent that there is active collaboration with experts who bring to the researchexperience an appropriate multidisciplinary prism. This allowed us to highlight positive experiencesand errors that help us improve and move forward. This article is presented in two distinct butultimately complementary parts. First, bibliometric analysis of the use of GPR in archaeology isaddressed based on Publish or Perish Software. Second, we narrow the discussion using GPR resultsapplied to rural/urban archaeological contexts from Roman times and how they can contribute to theknowledge of past societies, being an essential resource for understanding the historical expressionof the occupation, management, and uses of the territory and landscape.
