Above: Electrical resistance survey was tested over a small (20-x-20m)area
within an area containing magnetic
anomalies suspected to be caused by hearth, house, and pit features.
- High-resistance anomalies outlined in yellow have
spatial correlation with suspected hearths in the magnetic data.
- A discrete low-resistance anomaly is circled in
orange. This may be natural in origin, but is consistent with
a pit or other feature containing organically enriched or fine-grained
material.
- A green line indicated a partial "ring"
of faint anomalies. Although it is not well defined, it has spatial
correlation with a suspected architectural feature in the magnetic
data.
- A similar partial ring indicated by a blue line.
If these groups of anomalies represent architectural features,
one would seem to be superimposed upon the other.
- Linear anomalies that may be cultural in origin
are indicated with red lines.
