Introduction

Whenever there is an electric current, there is a proportionate amount of resistance, which varies depending on the nature of the material being used as a conductor. For instance, resistance can be very low in water or copper wire but very high in stones, air, or pottery. This behavior of electric current can be used to classify the unknown material into class of a good conductor or a poor conductor depending on the level of resistivity depicted. The nature of geological features of relates to the presence of minerals and moisture. The archaeological features beneath the soil vary in moisture content in such ...
