Per your request, on behalf of Southeastern Archeological Services, I conducted archival research and archaeological investigation of a known cemetery near the junction of U.S. Highway 278 and S.R. 142 in western Newton County. This cemetery is recorded at the Livingston Family Cemetery in a book of tombstone inscriptions of Newton County produced in 1972 (Dixon and Dixon 1972). The principal goal of the investigation was to determine the maximum limits of grave associated with this cemetery. Our firm has conducted over 60 ucb delineation and has exhumed grave 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.
