Split screen of a GPR slice and radargram with one of many potential graves pointed out.
To the left are preliminary images and results of the GPR survey. Looks like there are multiple graves. I have pointed out one. It shows a strong reflector (at the red dot in the upper blue and red image) and has the distinct upside-down “V” associated with features like burials in the lower Radargram image.
