Summary

This is an abstract from the "New and Emerging Geophysical and Geospatial Research in the National Parks" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

A multi-instrument survey of the Fort Union National Monument was conducted during the 2014 field season. The survey covered approximately 13.4 ha (33 acres) and was funded through a CESU grant with the National Park Service. The multi-instrument survey detailed evidence of intact, subsurface structural elements in the Civil War star fort component of the site. These data furthered the research efforts underway at the site and provides an enhanced interpretive experience for visitors.
