The results of application of direct-prospecting methods at sites of ancient burial location are presented. The used mobile and low-cost technology includes modified methods of frequency-resonance processing and decoding of satellite images and photo images, vertical electric-resonance sounding of a cross-section, as well as a method of integrated assessment of the prospects of oil and gas potential of large prospecting blocks and license areas. Separate methods of this direct-prospecting technology are based on principles of the “substance” paradigm of geophysical research, the essence of which is to search for a specific substance - oil, gas, gas condensate, gold, zinc, etc. For prospecting works in the area of Cosenza city, 11 satellite images fragments of the Busento River flowing were prepared. At the first stage of experimental search work frequency-resonance processing of all 11 satellite images of individual sections of the Busento river was carried out. Within one of the 11 surveyed areas, signals (responses) were received at frequencies of bronze, silver, gold, diamonds, …… Within this area, it is advisable to carry out detailed prospecting work in order to localize the zone for excavations organizing. During a satellite image processing of site with burial, responses were recorded from surface at resonant frequencies of phosphorus, carbon, silver, and gold. At the surface of 50 m from upper part of cross-section, responses from gold, silver, carbon, phosphorus, copper, and diamonds were also recorded. By scanning the cross-section from surface, step of 10 cm, responses from silver were recorded in depth interval 18-39 m. The responses at the gold frequencies were recorded from two intervals 20-25.60 m and 32.50-35.80 m when scanning from 18 m with step 1 cm. On the surface of 25.20 m, signals from diamonds, gold, silver, carbon, and phosphorus were obtained from the upper part of cross-section. The experiments carried out showed that during research of an archaeological nature, it is advisable to carry out measurements at survey sites in areal version. The results of experimental work indicate that mobile methods of satellite images frequency-resonance processing can be used to search for combustible and ore minerals, aquifers, as well as when performing archaeological research in areas of ancient settlements for detecting local objects that are promising for further excavations carrying out
