[HistoricCemeterieslistserv] Burial location methods workshop in North Bend, April 22

[GILL Kuri * OPRD]

A Comparison of Remote Sensing Techniques for Cemetery Mapping Workshop
April 22, 9:00am-3:30pm
$10.00, lunch not included, but there will be a break
As remote sensing or archaeogeophysical techniques become a more common tool for historic cemetery mangers, there is a greater need to understand which methods are appropriate for each cemetery location.  This workshop compares the abilities and limitations of ground‐penetrating RADAR (GPR), magnetometry, metal detectors, conductivity, and resistivity to help cemetery managers determine the best method to use, optimal conditions for their use, the order in which they should be used, and the cost.  Examples of how these non‐destructive techniques have been used in the Pacific Northwest to locate and map cemeteries and their varying degrees of success will be presented.  An afternoon field demonstration of the techniques will be conducted at Marshfield Cemetery.

The session is part of the Oregon Heritage Conference, April 22-24 in North Bend. To register for the workshop only, call Tracy Zeller at 503-986-0690. For conference information visit the conference webpage<http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/OHC/Pages/Conference.aspx>.

The Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries meeting will be during the conference, April 23, 2:00-4:30pm, at the Coos History Museum. For more information contact Kuri Gill<mailto:kuri.gill at oregon.gov> at 503-986-0685.
