Abstract

Archaeological applications for electromagnetic ground conductivity survey were presented by the authors at the 24th Annual Conference in St. John's, Newfoundland. At that time, the results and preliminary conclusions from studies at three historic cemeteries in southern Manitoba were discussed. Historic Resources Branch archaeologists have been able to test the validity of their interpretations of the electromagnetic ground conductivity survey data at St. Paul's-Middlechurch Cemetery. The estimated 650 burials at this Anglican church cemetery located north of Winnipeg, Manitoba, date from ca. 1850 to the present. Investigations have combined archival research, electromagnetic ground conductivity survey and archaeological excavation to produce locational information for unmarked grave sites.
