A remote sensing technique that monitors the electrical resistance of soils in a restricted volume near the surface of an archaeological site; buried walls or features can be detected by changes in the amount of resistance registered by the resistivity meter.
They are not much more expensive than simple soil probes (but are much more accurate), and are straightforward to operate. 1  Tensiometers are devices that measure soil moisture tension. 2  Electrical resistance blocks, also known as gypsum blocks, measure soil water tension.
