Abstract

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey was conducted by the LAMAR Institute on portions of the Sibley Mill historic site. Collectively, the LAMAR Institute research team examined a total of 2535.5 m 2 (0.63 acres or 0.25 hectares) within four GPR sample blocks. This GPR mapping coverage represents a substantial sample of the available exterior space on the Sibley Mill context from which one may derive conclusions about the suitability and effectiveness of GPR survey for mapping cultural resources in this environment. These survey data also may serve a useful purpose for other engineering concerns, including pending soil removal of contaminated (brownfield) areas of the study property.
