Two NSU Masters of Heritage Resources students, Josh Martin
and Curtis Desselles are working with the Breda Town Cemetery
Association in surveying and preserving the cemetery for their
project theses. Martin is mapping the cemetery and aiding
the community in determining the location of unmarked graves.
Forest Heritage Program Manager of Kisatchie and district
archaeologist for the Caney Ranger Station Velicia Bergstrom
offered to bring their ground penetrating radar equipment
and work with Martin. During that time, other Masters of Heritage
Resourse were there as part of their methods course where
they learn about different techniques used for preserving
heritage resources. Other equipment that was used included
a magnetometer, two types of soil pentrometers and a soil resistivity
meter that Desselles built himself.
