Abstract
Summary
On archaeological site of Eski - Iurt in the Crimea which is a Bronze Age burial mound before the archaeological excavation the geophysical surveys were performed. Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) method showed strong results in artifacts detection including graves delineation which were confirmed by following archaeological excavation.
The key parameters of successful ancient graves detection using ERT are: detailed profile network with small electrode spacing, low geological noise level and geophysical preliminary surveys to calibrate acquisition technique and to make sure that electrical resistivity of graves is contrast enough to be separated from the rest of cross-section
