f Identifying and Protecting Native American Graves using Electromagnetic induction: A Case Study from Central Georgia

This paper presents the results of an electromagnetic induction survey conducted at Ocmulgee National Monument in Macon, GA in 2010. the site wThis paper presents the results of an electromagnetic induction survey conducted at Ocmulgee National Monument in Macon, GA in 2010. the Ocmulgee National Monument Geophysical Survey Project mapped the monument using a soil conductivity meter. One of the project's goals is to identify sensitive cultural areas with Native American graves for future conservation. My sampling density ranged between 6 and 9 samples per meter. the project identified numerous anomalies that may be interpreted as Native American burials. Small anomalies having low apparent conductivity were located near the Funeral Mound (Mound C); a known cemetery. the data collected during the 2010 field season will aid the national monument in its conservation efforts and help the National Park Service avoid these sensitive materials during future archaeological work.
