Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey of portions of the Woodbine Mound site in Camden County, Georgia was completed in January 2004. The survey examined six sample blocks within a portion of the Woodbine Mound site that extended from grid point 876-996 North, and 990-1020 East, or an area measuring 60 m east-west by 20 m north-south. These sample blocks covered an area of approximately 600 m². The results of this work indicate that this technique has useful application for archaeological sites in the Satilla River watershed. The GPR radargram profiles revealed many anomalies across the site, particularly in the upper 50 cm of soil. Figure 8 shows an annotated version of the composite GPR map at 50 cm below surface with the approximate location of the Woodbine Mound, Rock's test unit excavation and human grave discovery, and an old road trace.
