Per your request, on behalf of Southeastern Archeological Services, I conducted archival research and archaeological investigation of an abandoned cemetery that is located about 200 yards southeast of Baker Place Road at a point about 400 yards south of Interstate Highway 20, in southeastern Columbia County. The principal goal of the investigation was to determine and mark in the field the maximum limits of graves associated with this cemetery. Our firm has conducted over 60 such delineations and has exhumed graves at 19 cemeteries in Georgia since 1984. I am a Registered Professional Archaeologist who worked on the majority of our company cemetery projects. In addition, I was the leader of the effort to locate and document all cemeteries in my home county of Oglethorpe, and in doing so visited and visually delineated about 450 cemeteries.
