(Lucy, 2000) Firstly, taking Grave AX as an example, an Anglo-Saxon grave dated to the mid seventh century, was discovered situated in the eastern area of the site.

Results Driven As the Director of LINC, I led the team that verified the accuracy of burial and headstone placement through inspection for each gravesite using the cemetery layout maps, historical burial records, and printout from the Burial Operations Support System (BOSS). In doing so guided my senior staff through conducting a grave-by-grave, 100% assessment of the entire cemetery. My challenge was to coordinate and record the correction of these sensitive discrepancies. The corrective measures
