I would cut off the 1x6's flat, use a hammer drill to put a couple 3/4" holes in the concrete base, use lags/shields to put a metal L bracket (cut from angle stock or I-beam) down, and bolt a new 4x4 to that bracket.
Or you could drill as deep a hole as possible with the hammer drill, insert a rod (perhaps threaded rod), epoxy that into the hole, and attach your 4x4 to that.
An alternative to a 4x4 piece of wood would a granite lamp post. That is probably already predrilled on the bottom so you could epoxy that to the rod you'd just installed into the concrete.
If you do have to dig, I've heard but not verified, that soaking the spot with water the night before makes the job easier.
