A remote sensing technique that monitors the electrical resistance of soils in a restricted volume near the surface of an archaeological site; buried walls or features can be detected by changes in the amount of resistance registered by the resistivity meter.
Geotextiles also often are used for erosion control on slopes because they are able to hold soil in place while allowing water to pass in and out of the soil; the free passage of water eliminates a buildup of soil water pressure that can destabilize the slope.
