The first clue
of our search was the the arrangement of the
visible graves and so we took a look at the
surrounding area for elevations and deepenings. |

Because the graveyard was in a natural state, we
removed leaves from the hidden ways and searched
for the ways which could lead us to old, far off
graves. |

After this work
was done we used the memorial stone the city of
Cologne placed there and searched for sinkings
in the forest ground to maybe find sunk graves.
Because all graves had stones lying on them, we
searched for bigger stones, which were put up in
similar manner. |

After we were not able to find anything in the
deepenings, we examined the elevations. We
didn't get any results there either, so we
expanded our area that we searched on. At first
we only looked on more ample and free places.
However, later we also penetrated to closer
covered places. We pushed the leaves aside over
and over again to maybe find stones beneath
them. |

By approach like
we did we also discovered a small place which
was covered with stones. The stones were partly
covered with earth and moldy sheets and had to
be exposed first. Because the archaeological
site was relatively small, we supposed we had
found a grave of a child. The archaeological
site was not far from the visible graves and is
surrounded by a few dry bushes. |
