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 is 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.
