Archeologist’s Trench at Parkers Crossroads Battlefield

 

 

Phase two of the search for possible Confederate burial sites began Thursday, March 2nd.  Ground penetrating radar was used a few weeks ago in the first phase of the search.  The radar identified three sites that qualified for the phase two dig.  Hugh Matternest is a mortuary archaeologist with New South Associates.  He came up from Stone Mountain Georgia to participate in the trenching of the three most likely areas determined from the ground radar search.
