The clam hill site is a prehistoric relic which is a pile of million pieces of shells. Disclosure of the fact the formation of the clam site is essential to study. The purpose of this research is to analyze the subsurface area of the Clam Site in Aceh Tamiang. The Wenner-Schlumberger as a type geo-electric method is used in this research which contains six passes. The length of the track is 155 m using 32 electrodes with a distance between the electrodes 5 m. Res2Dinv Software and Surfer 11 software are used to process the geo-electric data. The results of the analysis obtain the resistivity value of the pile of the shell is between 19,5 Ωm to 4768 Ωm which is different from the surrounding resistivity of 0 to 29.800 Ωm. The surrounding site is dominated by beach and river surface deposits in the form of clay, sand, and gravel with low soil and rock carrying capacity. According to archaeology, heaps of shells come from the remnants of ancient human civilization in Aceh Tamiang.
