Abstract
Archaeological investigations in cave and rock shelter environments
present researchers with a unique set of challenges.
Sediment depth modeling within cave or rock shelter sites aids
researchers in placing excavations in productive locations. Electrical
resistance tomography (ERT) is utilized more frequently in
archaeology over the last ten to fifteen years and is well suited
to modeling sediment depth profiles. However, its application to
archaeological cave and rock shelter sites is somewhat limited
due to space restrictions for data collection as compared to open
air sites. Presented here are results from 2014 – 2023 where ERT
rory j. becker et al: electrical resistance tomography for sediment depth modeling in croatia’s paleolithic rock shelter...
was incorporated into the research design on a series of projects
investigating Paleolithic cave & rock shelter sites in the Adriatic
Region of Croatia. The technique shows potential for continued
use in these environments though there are limitations to its applicability
in these environments
