Jeanne Burke, Clark County Historian, filed this report this evening concerning the investigation at the old Civil War Cemetery in downtown Jeffersonville. The bottom line appears to be that we still don't know if the graves remain under the baseball field at the Park or if the remains were relocated elsewhere. ============================ 10/19/2005 Lois, I spent several hours at Old City Cemetery/Colston Park today and will go back tomorrow. What the archaeologists discovered today was that the west end of this area was used as a repository for fill. Even though their ground penetratrating radar indicated some areas of disturbance that they thought might have been graves, none were found. They think that when I-65 was built and the old houses on Market Strret were torn down, the rubble was bulldozed over on this land. Many old bottles and crocks were found along with bricks, glass, and china pieces. There was also lots of ashes. The archaeologists only explored that part of the area which was within 100 feet of the proposed bridge ramp, as they must do according to the law. It is good to know that this area was not part of the original burial ground and that no graves will be disturbed. Please let all concerned folks know that there is nothing to worry about at this site. Regards, Jeanne
