TY - JOUR ID - TI - Comparison of 2D Resistivity Imaging Survey Using Wenner, Wenner - Schlumberger and Dipole-dipole Electrode Arrays in Uruk Archaeological Site, Iraq AU - Jassim M. Thabit1* Emad H. Al – Khersan2 Salah N.

The Comparison consist of the resolution andefficiency of 2D resistivity imaging survey with these arrays. Three survey tests on a selected profile in Uruk archaeological site aredone to examine the imaging capabilities of these arrays.The survey shows that the Dipole-dipole array has better horizontal datacoverage than the Wenner. The horizontal data coverage for the Wenner-Schlumberger array is slightly wider than Wenner array butnarrower than that obtained with the Dipole-dipole array. Also, the survey time for survey Dipole-dipole array longer than theothers, then that for Wenner- Schlumberger, then at the later that for Wenner array. The survey shows that the Dipole-dipole arrayhas a shallower depth of investigation compared to the Wenner and Wenner –Schlumberger arrays.Finally, it shows that Dipoledipolearray gives the highest resolution and best image for vertical anomalies. During the 2D resistivity imaging in Uruk, Dipoledipolearray is found to be the best array compared to Wenner and Wenner- Schlumberger arrays for detecting archaeologicaltargets.
