Results of the resistivity survey. Resistance values close to the mean are displayed as shades of gray, the lighter shades representing areas of relatively low resistivity and the darker shades representing areas of relatively high resistivity. Areas of extremely high and low resistivity are shown in color. This allows the values near the mean to be displayed with greater contrast, revealing more subtle detail than if the entire range of data were shown in grayscale. Remains of architectural features may be the source of the anomalies outlined in purple, possibly buildings related to the iron works such as worker housing. Two distinct parallel linear anomalies centered at 26N, 77E are outlined in light blue. These linear anomalies are well defined and have spatial correlation with linear anomalies in the magnetic data. The source of these anomalies may be linear archaeological features.
