Results of the electrical resistivity survey at Menoken Village, ND. Allthough the fortification ditch, a bastion, a principal trail, and the 1930s excavation can be discerned (see magnetic results), many of the features seen magnetically are not apparent in these data. A number of trails can be seen that have been verified through excavation. Much of the noise is attributed to rodent work.
