Cemetery Resource Protection Training

Time: 9:00 am til 11:00 am

Location: Manatee Village Historical Park and the 1850 Manatee Burying Grounds in Bradenton, Florida

Description: Join the Florida Public Archaeology Network staff to learn about cemetery care and preservation where you live. Explore cemeteries as historical resources: conserving headstones and markers, managing cemetery landscapes, transcribing and more. Practice hands-on headstone cleaning. Watch a fascinating demonstration of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). GPR provides a three-dimensional picture of sedimentary layers. When combined with other archaeological and historical research techniques, GPR images can provide researchers with a better understanding of what may be concealed beneath the ground.
