Electrical resistivity is a measure of how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current. In archaeological surveys, particularly in geophysical surveys, it helps to identify subsurface features by measuring variations in resistivity, which can indicate the presence of different materials, such as buried structures or soils. This technique allows archaeologists to non-invasively gather data about potential sites without digging.
congrats on reading the definition of Electrical Resistivity. now let's actually learn it.
