What is A resistivity survey of a burial mound in the ‘Valley of the Thracian Kings’ about?
## Abstract Geophysical methods, and electrical resistivity in particular, have well‐elaborated techniques and proven efficacy in the prospection of tumuli. This paper presents a good example of the discovery of a rich 5th century BC stone tomb in a large tumulus using geophysical data. The tumulus had been investigated previously both with geophysical surveys and excavation, but without success. In the present survey the common resistivity traversing with Wenner‐Schlumberger arrays was expanded with a two‐dimensional inverse modelling that, on one hand, aided in the more accurate outlining of the buried monument and, on the other, produced for the first time geophysical evidence to support the existing hypothesis that in many cases the tombs were built into previously raised tumulus embankments.
