electrical tomography
electrical tomography A geophysical technique, sometimes used in archaeology, in which metal electrodes are inserted into the ground and a current passed between them, through the subsoil. The resistivity is measured and many such measurements, taken at different depths and in different directions, allow a three-dimensional image of the site to be constructed.
