Magnetic gradiometer data from the Historic Slave Quarters Core Area. Numerous magnetic anomalies are identified. Cultural activities in the project area have left numerous iron/steel artifacts. Some are certainly related to the 19th century Burroughs farming activities. The linear magnetic anomaly in the center part of the grid is probably associated with 20th century disturbances. An anomaly located at N10/E32 is a metal park interpretive sign.
