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.
The ceramic tip of a tensiometer is inserted to the depth of the soil that is being monitored. The tube that is partially filled with water has a vacuum and if there has been rainfall or the soil is otherwise moist, the ceramic tip absorbs moisture from the soil and the vacuum in the tube becomes weaker.
