The goal of the archaeological survey at the Wadsworth cemetery was to delineate the boundaries and provide an estimate of how many individuals might be buried there. The Wadsworth Cemetery is an example of an abandoned cemetery where no descendant group is maintaining it and no one has been buried there recently. Its past use as a cattle pasture has obscured the subtle surface indicators such as sunken rows of east-west oriented depressions, stone monuments or other mortuary furniture.
