Hello the list: I haven't seen much activity on the list of late, so I thought I'd post this news release: Historic Archaeological Research (HAR) contracted with the Cicero Township Trustee to conduct precision survey and mapping of two large 19th century cemeteries in Tipton County, Indiana. This work corroborated and updated earlier efforts by historians and genealogists to record readings from monuments. All surface features in the Stewart and Sumner cemeteries were surveyed with a Nikon Total Station and site plan maps coded to coincide with historical documentation were created. Survey and mapping of cemeteries accomplished in conjunction with a monument database will provide researchers with an accurate depiction of current conditions on both cemeteries. This initial stage of documentation will also assist in identifying where unmarked graves and or unutilized areas within the cemeteries may exist. Subsurface imaging techniques including magnetometer/metal detection, Electromagnetic Conductivity (EMC) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) may be employed in these open areas in order to determine usage and areas with potential for future use.
