In this paper we report results of experiments to measure the electrical resistivity and equation of state for a dense strongly coupled aluminum plasma. These plasmas are near solid density and have temperatures in the 15--20 eV range with {Gamma} = 2--3. Our initial results indicate a significant reduction in pressure below the ideal gas law value and initial resistivity measurements agree with a model by Rinker within error bars.
