Archaeology has always been an important application field of geophysical methods. In this paper, multi-electrode resistivity method is used to detect the sites of Yangshao periods in Xia county, Yuncheng city, Shanxi Province. The inversion principle of multi-electrode resistivity method is introduced, the data are also processed and interpreted in two and three - dimensional inversion. Through this exploration, the resistivity characteristics of the cultural layer of the site and the location and depth of its concentrated distribution are found out, which provides an important basis for further archaeological exploration and excavation.
