Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) is one of the soil resistance prospection techniques that is capable of acquiring measurements of soil's resistivity with the stratigraphy of the ground (namelywith varying depth). It is a direct current technique that can provide a 2D or 3D image of the distribution of soil resistance within the ground.
In archaeology, ERT is used for locating voids and tombs but also in mapping settlements of various habitation phases and in reconstructing the ancient landscapes.
A more detailed explanation of both the field methods and the processing procedures are provided in two downloadable pdf documents:-
