Abstract
Fort Shantok is a national Historic Landmark and one of the most important and sacred historical sites d<br>the Mohegan Tribe, which recently repossessed the site. While the Mohegan Tribe is strongly interested in<br>a detailed characterization of the site, there is a strong pi&em for using non invasive tools. One of the<br>parts of the sites that needed to be characterized was a small cemetery. On this cemetery (where the gmve<br>markers have been removed and whem no surface indications of the graves remain) a pseudo 3D radar set<br>was collected. The time slices generated from this dataset give signatures which are strongly suggestive cf<br>time which can be expected from graves. The results from this data (and from follow up work) will be used<br>to remark the graves and the cemetery.
