A resistivity sounding made just to the east of Mound 5. This was a flat surface. The changes in resistivity with increasing electrode spacing are related to the changes in resistivity with increasing depth. This sounding shows that the soil is moderately stratified; it also shows that the deepest detectable layer has a higher resistivity than the layers above it.
