Geo-Physical Survey

The group built an earth resistivity meter, commonly known as geophysical resistivity or simply “geophys”, and so has the capability of completing ground surveys.

We trialed it over small areas where ground structures were known to exist with some limited success. Resistivity surveys are more suited to large areas when extensive patterns may become visible and so this technique may be used along side other methods of using old maps, aerial photography, LIDAR maps and trial pits to improve the likelihood of revealing archaeology.
