Applied Resistivity Method to Investigate Ngawonggo Archaeology Subsurface at Malang Indonesia

Abstract

It is necessary to carry out further research to determine the mapping and distribution of buried archaeological objects in Ngawonggo Village, Tajinan, Malang Regency. The geoelectric resistivity dipole-dipole configuration method is one of the appropriate geophysical methods to be used to find the existence of buried archaeological objects. The study was conducted with four scattered tracks having a space of 1 m in each track. The first track has a stretch of 64 m and found site rocks at a depth of 0-2 m. The second track has a stretch of 64 m and archaeological rocks are found at a depth of 2-5 m below ground level. On track three has a stretch of 32 m and found archaeological rocks at a depth of 2-7 m below the ground surface. While on track four with a stretch of 32 m, no archaeological rocks were found.
