Abstract:The paper presents the results of geophysical prospection carried out on sites in the vicinity of the Greek colony of Tanais in the course of fieldwork in 1993-2003. Included is a discussion of geoelectric resistivity survey methodology using different systems of profiling and sounding, as well as survey results verified by archaeological excavations. Activities constituting the framework for non — intrusive archaeological research in the dry area and its immediate vicinity, the chora and cemeteries, have been described (combining analyses of aerial and satellite photography with geophysical research, field walking and archaeological testing). The results of prospecting at these multi-layered sites provided the grounds for preparing the methodology of geophysical surveying of archaeological features of a similar kind
