description: During the Summer and Fall of 1994, the National Park Service conducted archaeological and geophysical investigations of the Middlecoff and Perschbacher pioneer family cemeteries located at Scott Air Force Base, St. Clair County, Illinois. The investigations included the use of geophysical techniques (i.e., magnetometer, electrical resistivity, electromagnetic conductivity, and ground penetrating radar), archival research, and interviews with descendants of the families buried at the cemeteries. The Air Force required the archaeological and geophysical investigations prior to the construction of a more permanent fence which was to replace a wooden picket fence. Both cemeteries were eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
