Fort Shantok is a national Historic Landmark and one of the most important and sacred historical sites d the Mohegan Tribe, which recently repossessed the site. While the Mohegan Tribe is strongly interested in a detailed characterization of the site, there is a strong pi&em for using non invasive tools. One of the parts of the sites that needed to be characterized was a small cemetery. On this cemetery (where the gmve markers have been removed and whem no surface indications of the graves remain) a pseudo 3D radar set was collected. The time slices generated from this dataset give signatures which are strongly suggestive cf time which can be expected from graves. The results from this data (and from follow up work) will be used to remark the graves and the cemetery.
