"One of the Most Exciting and Intriguing Civil War Discoveries of the Modern Era"

"In January, working from documents of the era, Moore and graduate student Kevin Chapman began using ground radar to locate the stockade walls at the site, south of Augusta, that had become a U.S. Fish and Wildlife hatchery in 1948, and had ceased operations in 1996.
"Chapman expected to find some post holes. But during his first day of sifting dirt, he found a Union button, then a musket ball, then a large U.S. cent, the size of a half-dollar. 'The results have been stunning,' he said."

Bo Emerson in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports on the discovery of the remains of Camp Lawton, a Confederate-run prison in southern Georgia.
