Inscription.

In July 2017, ground penetrating radar (GPR) was performed with a computerized machine that scans beneath the ground looking for images of disturbed soil. Disruptions with a consistent length, width, and depth of a burial are marked as such. Anomalies marked with a red "X” indicate possible burials that don't quite meet all the criteria. The GPR found 217 burials. Some burials were possibly missed due to tree roots blocking the radar from penetrating the ground deeply enough. At least 200 burials have been documented.
