This paper describes a geophysical survey to locate the lost Port Kennedy Bone Cave of Valley Forge Nat. Hist. Park. The cave contains mid-Pleistocene fossils that were collected by famous paleontologists of the late 1800s, and were new to science, with some still found nowhere else. When workers were driven out by flooding, the cave was covered with quarry waste, later industrial asbestos waste, and was lost for over 100 years.
