Local PA Cemetery - Siegfried Results

Laura Sherrod - 2013

Metal in the wall of the cemetery may have masked subsurface magnetic anomalies close to the walls, but the results of this survey shows several locations for further investigation.

Within the cemetery walls, numerous small bipolar anomalies could represent unmarked burials. The GPR profile at locations A, B, and C illustrates the hyperbolic nature of the GPR reflections in the central portion of the cemetery.

Fill material on the road to the west of the cemetery, as shown in the GPR profile at location D, may cover and distort anomalies from prior burials.

Hyperbolic reflections in the GPR profiles performed north of the cemetery may represent burials at a depth of approximately 0.8m, as illustrated at location E.
