Electrical Resistivity Imaging in Archaeology (The Gault Archeological Site, Central Texas)

The Gault Archeological Site in central Texas, USA, is a spectacular place in the context of the hypothesis of peopling of the Americas over 13,000 years ago. The Gault site has yielded valuable information for the archeological community. For instance, its oldest stratigraphic component is dated at more than 15,000 years. More than half a million artifacts of Clovis age (13,400-12,700 years ago) and intact Archaic deposits dating from nearly 5,000 to 9,000 years ago have been recovered. Paleoindian deposits from 13,000 to 10,000 years ago and incised stones among the oldest in the Americas exist.

This video shows the results of 2D electrical resistivity imaging (2D ERI) fieldwork at the Gault Archeological Site. 2D ERI was used to search for paleochannel deposits between an active stream and an important archeological excavation pit.
