Geophysical Survey Report, Phase 1 Cultural Resources Survey, Fort Dix, NJ (2004)
AMEC E&C Services, Inc. has been commissioned by AMEC E&E Services, Inc (AMEC) to perform a geophysical survey at Fort Dix, NJ. The geophysical survey is in support of a Phase 1 Cultural Resources Survey (e.g. an archeological survey), the purpose of which is to identify potential features of archeological significance, in advance of planned construction activities in the study area. The study site consists of a nominal 150 ft x 250 ft area located within Ft. Dix. Several anomalies were...

Geophysical Surveys in the Carver Family Cemetery, George Washington Carver National Monument, Missouri (2000)
In August 1999, tests were conducted with three geophysical instruments on a lO-meter square grid in the northeast corner of the Carver family cemetery, George Washington Carver National Monument, Diamond, Missouri. The instruments included a Geoscan FM36 flux gate magnetometer, a Geoscan RM15 soil resistance meter, and a Sensors and Software Noggin 250 ground-penetrating radar unit. The magnetic data revealed patterns very similar to those identified by J. L. Emery as a result of her work in...
