The results of the electrical resistivity survey covered an area of
approximately 17,000 m2, and required nearly 34,000
measurements. Cultural features, nearly a meter deep, tend to exhibit
high resistivity, due to differing electrical properties of the eolian
sediments that in-filled house and fortification depressions after the
site's abandonment. The sharp line near the southern part of the village
is the Army Corps of Engineers protective berm created as part of a bank
stabilization program to protect this site from further erosion from
Lake Sharpe. For further discussion, see
"Interpretations."
This project was supported by a technology transfer grant from the National
Center for Preservation Technology and Training, National Park Service.
