Methods of Geophysical Testing

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Application of Geophysical Techniques to Military Archaeology" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The Lockhart cemetery is located within the Missouri Army National Guard’s Macon Training Site, Macon Missouri. The cemetery is located within the eastern half of Site 23MC1586, a site recorded within the Northwest section of the Macon Training Site. The western half of the site has foundation remains with historic deposits dating to the mid-nineteenth century. Utilizing archaeological surveys, historical records, and geophysical surveys the project speculated that unmarked historic graves were located outside of the marked historic cemetery boundaries and that the marked graves had never been exhumed from the military property. This paper will discuss dual methodologies for geophysical surveys and its results for identifying marked and unmarked historic graves within the radius of the Lockhart Family historic cemetery.
