Moore, Alahna. "Using Digital Mapping Techniques to Rapidly Document Vulnerable Historical Landscapes in Coastal Louisiana: Holt Cemetery Case Study." ScholarWorks@UNO, 2018. https://scholarworks.uno.edu/td/2477.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis outlines a technique for rapid documentation of historic sites in volatile cultural landscapes. Using Holt Cemetery as an exemplary case study, a workflow was developed incorporating RTK terrain survey, UAS aerial imagery, photogrammetry, GIS, and smartphone data collection in order to create a multifaceted database of the material and spatial conditions, as well as the patterns of use, that exist at the cemetery.
The purpose of this research is to create a framework for improving the speed of data creation and increasing the accessibility of information regarding threatened cultural resources. It is intended that these processes can be scaled and adapted for use at any site, and that the products generated can be utilized by researchers, resource management professionals, and preservationists. In utilizing expedited methods, this thesis specifically advocates for documentation of sites that exist in coastal environments and are facing imminent destruction due to environmental degradation.

Full textAbstract:
This study conducts a multi-isotopic bioarchaeological analysis of the Avondale Burial Place (McArthur Cemetery), a recently discovered Emancipation-era African American cemetery near Macon, GA. Stable isotopic analyses were performed on available dental remains in order to reconstruct the diet and demography of the individuals buried at McArthur Cemetery. Specifically, δ18O and δ13C were characterized in tooth enamel and examined in tandem with collaborative osteological and mortuary analyses to reconstruct early-life diet and residential origin. The results suggest that members of the Avondale community buried in McArthur did not experience significant mobility, but rather resided in the area for most of their lives. Overall, these results greatly contribute to the genealogical research of McArthur Cemetery’s descendants as well as the fragmented history of the South by exploring whether the individuals in this community took part in the Great Migration following the Civil War.

Previous issue date: 2015-09-04<br>CNPq<br>Durante o acompanhamento arqueológico realizado pela Fundação Seridó em parceria com a Universidade Federal de Pernambuco nas obras de implantação do Habitacional do Pilar, Bairro do Recife – PE, foi evidenciado na Quadra 55, um cemitério histórico de limites ainda desconhecidos. Na referida campanha, iniciada em Janeiro de 2013 e finalizada em Abril de 2014, foram exumados 28 sepultamentos humanos. Segundo apontam os primeiros resultados, o cemitério seria provavelmente dos séculos XVII e XVIII. Considerando as características apresentadas pelo sítio, indagamos se o Cemitério do Pilar teria sido destinado a indivíduos acometidos por surtos epidêmicos durante o período da ocupação holandesa no Recife (1630 e 1654). Inicialmente foram identificadas historicamente as principais epidemias que acometeram a cidade do Recife, em Pernambuco, no período da ocupação holandesa. Posteriormente realizamos a análise da ancestralidade, sexo e idade dos indivíduos a fim de perceber se este grupo seria semelhante ao descrito pela historiografia como os moradores do Recife da época. Após as análises ósseas identificamos: indivíduos masculinos de ancestralidade caucasoide (europeia) com idades entre 15 e 21 anos, predominantemente. e alterações morfológicas insuficientes para uma diagnose positiva para bouba, sífilis, varíola. Escorbuto foi a patologia que apresentou uma característica mais recorrente – retração alveolar.<br>During the archaeological monitoring of the Pilar Housing, District of Recife – PE, done by Seridó Foundation with Federal University of Pernambuco, a historical cemetery with still unmeasured dimensions was evidenced on block 55. In this archaeological campaign, between January 2013 and April 2014, 28 human burials were
dug. According the first search results, the cemetery would be probably from the 17th and 18th centuries. Considering the site’s features, we question if the Pilar Cemetery would have been intended for individuals affected by disease outbreak during the Dutch
occupation in Recife (between 1630 and 1654). First, we identified historically the major diseases that befell the city of Recife, in Pernambuco, during the Dutch occupation. Then we analyzed the ancestry, sex and age of the individuals aiming understand if the group would be similar to the group described by the historiography as the Recife’s residents at the time. After bone analysis, were identified, predominantly, male Caucasoid (European) individuals between 15 and 21 years old. The bone morphological alterations were not enough to diagnose positively yaws, syphilis, smallpox. Scurvy was the pathology that presented recurring feature – alveolar retraction.

Full textAbstract:
*Graveyards are significant sites that are consciously and deliberately created. As both architecture and landscape architecture, graveyards are an intrinsic part of history that have helped define and establish architectural styles as well as address land use and associated issues.Graveyards provide some of the best and most lasting examples of art and sculpture through the ages. By examining the size, shape, ornamentation/articulation, style of carving and materials from which the stones are constructed, elements of social status and what individuals thought of the themselves are revealed. Valuable historic documentation is gleaned from graveyards in the form of genealogical information, social history, widespread diseases, wars/battles and demographics. The study of epitaphs discloses biographies of individuals and indicates what type of professions were dominant during a certain period. The religious symbolism of individual stones differentiates denominations and may lend evidence of a once-existent church or parish.*This term was traditionally used throughout the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and therefore will be applied in the text where appropriate. The need to preserve graveyards is essential to humankind's understanding of the past,, people and the environment. As outdoor museums that are open to all, regardless of social or economic status, to visit and experience, graveyards are potentially one of the best educational tools for interpreting history, yet are seldom used. Graveyards must begin to be viewed as "interpretive sites" and not just as functional and emotional places for the dead. As a tangible aspect of history that contains sensitive records, the preservation of a graveyard must be carefully and innovatively handled. The stability that a cemetery presents in the ever-changing environment of a disposable society is threatened unless the site and its artifacts are properly maintained.Historic Blandford Cemetery in Petersburg, Virginia, presents itself as a significant eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth-century graveyard/cemetery. It is the site of the 1781 Battle of Petersburg and the burial grounds for approximately 30,000 Confederate soldiers from the United States Civil War. The Old Blandford Church is the oldest church in the Petersburg area (ca. 1734-1737) and was the last of three brick churches built for Bristol Parish of Bristol, England, in colonial Virginia. The church also contains fifteen Tiffany stained-glass windows designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany.Since the historic fabric at Blandford Cemetery needs to be preserved, restored, maintained and innovatively managed to ensure its future, this study has been undertaken with the sincere hope that others will find the enthusiasm, support and encouragement to seek out, preserve and interpret old graveyards and cemeteries.<br>Department of Architecture

<p> This Public History thesis examines the role that historic cemeteries play in preservation in urban southeast Louisiana by looking at their place on the National Register of Historic Places, analyzing three case studies of past preservation efforts, and narrating the history of a historic African American cemetery and nominating it for the National Register of Historic Places. In Chapters One and Two, I focus on the 1960s and 1970s National Register and specific preservation efforts for historic cemeteries. In Chapter Three I argue that historic cemeteries are important to local history, specifically the importance of Sweet Olive to the African American history of Baton Rouge, and I submitted a nomination for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. I collected newspapers, land records, and preservationist's papers to present a history of cemetery preservation in southeast Louisiana and prepared the nomination to be involved in its future.</p>

This creative project involved preparation of a cultural landscape report for Lindenwood Cemetery in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Using methodologies adapted from the National Park Service and National Register of Historic Places, the report sought to define the existing conditions, historic significance, and appropriate treatment approach for the historic cemetery. Report chapters include site history and contextual documentation, existing conditions assessment, analysis of historic significance and integrity, treatment recommendations, and recommendations for further study. Lindenwood Cemetery was found to be significant for its association with the major four American cemetery design movements and its ability to display all four eras in a single landscape. Overall, Lindenwood retained a high level of integrity from its historic periods of significance advocating a minimally-invasive rehabilitation treatment approach. Treatment recommendations focused on maintenance and repair, guidelines for implementing new uses, and restoration of certain sunken garden elements.<br>Department of Landscape Architecture

Full textAbstract:
After experiencing changes and adapting to them, Macau establishes a unique identity of harmonious coexistence of different cultures, religions, people and life styles. And this unique identity became one of the major characters that fulfill the criteria for inscribing into UNESCO’s World Heritage List. World heritage site: The Historic Centre of Macau is a brand name in Macau’s tourism now.
But not every building is lucky to have adequate respect. Cemetery of St. Michael the Archangel, located inside the historic centre of Macau and closed to St. Paul’s ruins, as well as many other heritage sites, is an example. The values of historic cemeteries are underestimated.
In order to protect the container of history – cemeteries, conservation must be done. There is no doubt about that. However, interpretation of the cemeteries is equally important. With better interpretations of the cemeteries and people buried inside, we can reconstruct the society in 19th century, and even more. The routes suggested in Chapter 4 only served as examples. Visitor can imagine a society which all these historic figures were living. They interacted with each other. They influenced each other. And they changed the society. If there was no cemeteries, or if we did not have good conservation of the cemeteries, how can we provide this interpretation of society in a particular period of time?
Proposing a historic walk is one of the best ways to have better interpretations to the cemeteries. Through the historic cemetery walk, the values of each cemetery can be appreciated by visitor and it can also bring the cemeteries life. The rich contents of the cemeteries are always waiting for us to find out.<br>published_or_final_version<br>Conservation<br>Master<br>Master of Science in Conservation

Full textAbstract:
All across the world, people struggle daily to create and enhance their sense of identity. Such struggles are waged in many ways, including through the process of rediscovering and reinterpreting history. Mt. Sinai Baptist Church, an African American congregation in a suburb of Atlanta, is engaged in a search for its church cemetery, lost when the land was sold to the military during the nation’s mobilization for World War II. The church’s efforts are analyzed in the context of identity creation -- a search for links to a mythic and self-sufficient past. Archaeological methods reveal compelling evidence that the cemetery lies in a location previously unknown to the community. Through a collaborative process, the church community and the investigator identify the possible cemetery location and develop plans to institute reforms that are sustainable and agreeable to all parties.

Full textAbstract:
The Black River Cemetery, located in modern day Athlone (a suburb of Cape Town), was open for burials from 1867 - 1951, serving three Anglican Churches. The recent (2017) excavation of the historic site allowed for the analysis of the exhumed skeletal remains. The outcome of the skeletal analysis is valuable as the lives documented on the skeleton of a past group of people can write the story of individuals and communities that may have otherwise been omitted from the history books. The aim of this study is to describe demography, lifestyle and disease for a group of people living at the Cape between the 18th and early 20th centuries. The excavation of the cemetery yielded 1,305 graves of which 1,050 contained skeletal remains. Skeletal preservation was varied due to taphonomic influences, but overall it was poor with high fragmentation and taphonomic loss of skeletal material. The skeletal analysis performed utilised several well-established methodologies used in bioarchaeological and forensic anthropological disciplines and produced a body of information encompassing the demographics for this historic skeletal sample. Historical research on the Colonial Cape, coupled with the Black River Cemetery history and burial registers was employed to provide the context to the results of the skeletal analysis. The historic research suggests that the community and people buried there were most likely hardworking people of the poorer communities at the Cape in the 18th and 19th century with a division of labour between men and women. In the period of time that the cemetery was receiving burials, multiple social, political and economic changes occurred including; the bubonic (black) plague, Spanish influenza epidemic, the Boer War, the First World War and the Diamond Rush. It also saw the beginnings of racially segregated living and forced relocations. This backdrop provides an interesting landscape on which to view the skeletal analysis. The data analyses showed that the mortality profiles were skewed from the normal profiles determined by Weiss (1973). The sex ratio was skewed toward males indicating a greater mortality risk for men while the age mortality profiles showed a higher child and juvenile mortality and lower old adult mortality than is typically expected in a cemetery assemblage. This is an indicator of the effects of the epidemics and other factors reducing survivability of individuals. The low frequencies of periosteal reactions also may point to the poor survival capability as individuals may have succumbed to infections before the effect would be exhibited on the skeletal material. Pathological and stress indicators also show a sexually dimorphic trend with males exhibiting greater frequencies of degenerative joint disease, fractures, osteophytic growths and rates of dental attrition. Stature analysis showed a sexually homogenous group of people suggesting a lower health status and likely malnourishment or undernutrition. The social environment in which people lived likely contributed to a weakened immune system, and the generally poor health status of the people. The experience of the people living in Black River and the surrounding areas appears to be one of hard, repetitive labour and nutritional stress within an everchanging urban setting.

Full textAbstract:
The purposes of this creative project were (1) to develop a stone conservation plan for some of the markers in the "Old Part" of Beech Grove Cemetery, (2) to bring attention to the plight of a sampling of the cemetery stone markers in the "Old Part," and (3) to provide a written and photographic database for those individuals who are concerned with the preservation/conservation of Beech Grove Cemetery, in the hopes that a conservation plan can be implemented throughout the cemetery.Results revealed that a vast majority of Beech Grove's markers are deteriorating due to several natural factors such as weathering and erosion, as well as to neglect and vandalism. I have included, in this project, 195 stone inventory forms with a correlating map and photograph of those stones surveyed. The results also confirmed my theory that little conservation has taken place in the cemetery. Some conservation efforts that have been applied to the stone markers have further damaged them due to inappropriate methods.<br>Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
As generations segment and separate by distance and relationships, the chapel, school, and cemetery in what was known as the Saunders Chapel Community in Hawkins County, Tennessee, becomes a unifying bond to its descendents. This study records Saunders School history as an established central archive and uses the history for a restoration proposal. Saunders history, like all social and cultural history, exists as coalesced fragments. In the hope of deriving proof of the past, each entity and event is brought together so they might illuminate another. The story of Saunders Chapel will continue to grow and live on through the decedents, the site, and their history. The lives and faith that created the community has been brought to present light to insure the descendents of Saunders Chapel a place to keep coming home to.

Previous issue date: 2015-08-28<br>The dissertation presented here arose from the desire to unite two studies of the objects wanted dedicated myself in my academic career since graduation: the cemetery and the teaching of history. My goal was to develop this study to the possibilities of working the graveyard as a source for teaching history. As we show the studies Bellomo (2008) historian, the cemetery can give us information about religious values, genealogical aspects, memory forms of families or community; ethnic studies, architectural, and artistic heritage, ie a range of thematic possibilities that can be worked with the backdrop of the cemeterial space. Here I defend the hypothesis that the cemetery can provide a meaningful learning of history that can differentiated and innovative look for students of basic education which often complain about the cold form of discipline as history is taught in the classroom without much to do with their reality. This study took advantage of running a teaching sequence with the 8th graders and 9th grade of Educational Center Dom Helder Camara, school located in New neighborhood, municipality of Guarabira-PB. This teaching sequence involving lectures in class, a field class at St. John Baptist Cemetery - the oldest cemetery in the city, located in the center of Guarabira and today is off for new tombs - and a lesson where students were able to relate their experiences By means of a textual output. The focus of the classes was acquainted with the concepts of history, memory, identity and heritage in order that students could understand them relate them to the local history and material culture and immaterial of the cemetery. Through the analysis of the narratives of the students, i could see the breaking of prejudice that students had the cemetery, the theory of dialogue with the practice in relation to the concepts worked, questions about issues around the preservation of the tombs, among other features highlighted by students. Moreover, it was considerable excitement involvement of students and the fact that they liked to have been a lesson so different from usual.<br>A dissertação que aqui apresento surgiu da vontade de unir dois objetos de estudos os quis me dediquei na minha carreira acadêmica desde a graduação: o cemitério e o ensino de História. Meu objetivo foi desenvolver este estudo visando as possibilidades de se trabalhar o cemitério como fonte para o ensino de História. Conforme nos demonstra os estudos do historiador Bellomo (2008), o cemitério pode nos fornecer informações sobre valores religiosos, aspectos genealógicos, formas de memória das famílias ou da comunidade; estudos étnicos, arquitetônicos, patrimoniais e artísticos, ou seja, uma gama de possibilidades temáticas que podem ser trabalhadas tendo como pano de fundo o espaço cemiterial. Aqui defendo a hipótese de que o cemitério pode proporcionar uma aprendizagem significativa da História que pode parecer diferenciada e inovadora para os estudantes da educação básica que, muitas vezes, queixam-se da forma fria de como a disciplina de História é ensinada em sala de aula, sem muita relação com a realidade deles. Este estudo se valeu da execução de uma sequência didática com os alunos do 8º ano B e 9º ano A do Centro Educacional Dom Hélder Câmara, escola localizada no bairro Novo, Município de Guarabira-PB. Esta sequência didática envolveu aulas teóricas em sala, uma aula de campo no Cemitério São João Batista – cemitério mais antigo da cidade, localizado no centro de Guarabira e que hoje se encontra desativado para novos túmulos – e uma aula onde os alunos puderam relatar suas experiências por meio de uma produção textual. O foco das aulas foi dialogar com os conceitos de História, Memória, Identidade e Patrimônio, no intuito que os alunos pudessem compreendê-los relacioná-los com a história local e a cultura material e imaterial do cemitério. Através da análise das narrativas dos alunos, pude perceber a quebra do preconceito que os alunos tinham do cemitério, o diálogo da teoria com a prática com relação aos conceitos trabalhados, questionamentos acerca de problemas quanto à preservação dos túmulos, dentre outras particularidades destacadas pelos alunos. Além disso, foi considerável o envolvimento e empolgação dos alunos e o fato de terem gostado por ter sido uma aula tão diferente do habitual.

One aim of this essay is to conduct a thorough investigation into the origins of the objects inthe Victoria Museum, Gustavianum, collection VM 346–362 (the sequence expanded, later inthe project, also to include VM 346) and how they got there. This will be achieved byfollowing the paper trail back to the excavation in Egypt. The other is to describe how objectsfrom digs were spread between museums and different countries by W.M. Flinders Petrie.Questions have been raised about the perceived origins of the objects in the Gustavianumcollection VM 346–362. The collection has until recently been believed to be the funeraryobjects of the First Intermediate Period man Wadjet-hetep. In 1921 this collection was mostlikely bought by the Victoria Museum through Pehr Lugn, from W.M. Flinders Petrie, somemonths after Petrie and Brunton ended their excavation season of 1920/21 in Sedment, Egypt.However, the collection as a whole cannot be the funerary objects of Wadjet-hetep, since themajority of those are owned by and exhibited at Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Denmark.The one confirmed belonging of Wadjet-hetep in the Gustavianum VM-collection is the innercoffin which has his name on it. The collective memory of the museum claims that fivewalking sticks, also currently in the VM-collection, were found with the mummy inside theinner coffin at the excavation site. Unfortunately, the museum archive is extensively damagedand contains nothing that can tell us about the collection's origins.By investigating external sources, Petrie and Brunton’s accounts of the excavation, as well asonline catalogues and archives, the VM collection can be backtracked to Sedment. The resultsconclude that the objects in the collection derive from different tombs and periods.

Full textAbstract:
Cemeteries are an integral part of the cityscape, which as a societal function are responsible for the interment of the deceased in a dignified manner. Cemeteries as a space imbued with cultural, historical, religious and emotional significance - as a site for grief, reflection and contemplation they also have a significant physical presence in the city. Cemeteries are a somewhat hidden issue in urban planning in Sweden today, but as a land intensive development that locks the land from future reuse it is paramount that the complexity is examined. The Burial Act (SFS 1990:1144) governs burial practice, services and the organisation structure of cemeteries in Sweden which creates an interesting set of conditions. The thesis investigates future cemetery planning in the context of Gothenburg, Sweden, as the city is faced with a shortage of burial space in the coming decade. Simultaneously, Gothenburg is growing and land for future development is highly contested. This provides motivation for why cemetery planning needs to be understood in an urban context. The thesis will use two case studies, first the case of Järva cemetery in Stockholm as inspiration for cemetery planning in current society and secondly the case of Gothenburg to guide the research regarding how to plan for cemeteries that are socially just. An extensive literature review and interviews with relevant actors, are used to gain knowledge of cemetery planning and the functions of cemeteries in a European context, as well as future trends regarding cemetery planning. The interviews are examined through the themes of physical considerations, qualities of cemeteries, diversity in burial provision and governance. Results of the interviews indicate the multifaceted nature of planning for cemeteries. The method of scenario planning is subsequently utilized as a tool to explore how a future cemetery in Gothenburg can be planned, developed and designed through four possible scenarios - small-peripheral, small-urban, large-urban and large-peripheral. A scenario analysis is carried out using a social justice theoretical framework to illuminate how a socially just cemetery development can be established and potential challenges regarding this. The concepts analysed through the theoretical framework are planning, ownership and management, finance, social infrastructure and environmental impact. The thesis concludes with a discussion of the cemetery scenarios analysis and providing recommendations for future cemetery planning in Gothenburg.

Previous issue date: 2011-05-03<br>The beginning of this research lies at the wish of understanding the relation among the population from the region of Seridó, the death and the dead when cholera morbus, smallpox and yellow fever‟s epidemic outbreak exterminated part of the population from that region, causing deep modifications in the funeral culture. Thus, our aim is to analyze how this epidemic impact contributed to a changing action towards people‟s funeral habits and attitudes concerning death and the dead in Seridó as from 1850. During the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century, the attitudes of the inhabitants from the Province of Rio Grande do Norte regarding life‟s finite limit were based on the familiarity between the living and the dead, which led to a relation characterized by rituals after the death and the burial inside churches. This procedure was largely used by the Catholic Christians and it allowed a close contact between the dead and the living because when the congregation was inside the church they would walk around, sit and pray on the grave. The impact of the epidemic was fundamental to change the funeral culture. The diseases were responsible for a high mortality rate and consequently the burial inside the churches turned out being unfeasible because there was no time enough to the bodies‟ decomposition. As a result, the hygienist discourse that, under European influence, struggled against the ad sanctos burial was enhanced in order to prevent from other diseases and in favor of public hygiene. Under this perspective, a secularizing process takes place in Seridó, alike other Brazilian regions such as in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. It is this process we want to comprehend, based on official documents produced by the Presidents of the Province and Municipal Counties, wills and parochial obituary registers, besides visual resources like ground plans, photographs and videos, so that the secularized cemeteries of the region are analyzed.<br>Esta pesquisa surgiu a partir do desejo de compreender a relação que a população do Seridó manteve com a morte e com os mortos no momento em que os surtos epidêmicos de cólera-morbo, varíola e febre amarela grassaram na região, provocando modificações na cultura fúnebre. Assim, nosso objetivo é analisar como o impacto dessas epidemias, que atingiram esse espaço a partir de 1850, contribuiu para a ação transformadora sobre os costumes fúnebres e as atitudes da população para com a morte e os mortos. As atitudes dos habitantes da capitania do Rio Grande do Norte quanta à finitude da vida tinham como eixo central, durante toda a extensão do século XVIII e a primeira metade do século XIX, a familiaridade entre vivos e mortos, relação definida pelos rituais efetivados no momento pós-morte e pelas inumações no interior das igrejas. Essas inumações, utilizadas pelos cristãos católicos, permitiam o contato direto entre vivos e mortos: os fiéis que frequentavam as igrejas passavam, sentavam-se e faziam suas orações sobre as sepulturas. O impacto das epidemias nas transformações na cultura funerária foi fundamental. As doenças provocavam alto índice de mortalidade, tornando inviável o enterramento no interior das igrejas, uma vez que não havia tempo suficiente para a total decomposição dos corpos. Logo, constituíram-se em um dos elementos catalisadores do discurso higienista, que há tempos lutava, sob influência europeia, contra o enterramento ad sanctos, com base na prevenção de males e a favor da higienização pública. Dentro dessa conjuntura, o Seridó, a exemplo de outras regiões brasileiras, como São Paulo e o Rio de Janeiro, iniciou o processo de secularização da morte. É esse processo que pretendemos compreender, tendo como base o uso de documentação oficial produzida pelos Presidentes de Província e os de Comarcas Municipais, testamentos e registros paroquiais de óbito, além de recursos visuais, como plantas baixas, fotografias e vídeos, para análise dos cemitérios secularizados da região.

Previous issue date: 2007-10-03<br>In the present thesis we analyse the social relationships in the city of São Paulo in the nineteenth century having in mind the constant presence of disease and death during this period. Source of tensions and arrangements, rich in mental elaborations attempting its elucidation, death is treated here as part of an intricate social mesh existing in a city in permanent transformation. Noticing its greater incidence among the children, the women, the poor and the slaves, we have investigated the probable reasons for this and quantified it in a set of tables that made possible the evaluation of the life expectancy of the inhabitants of de city of São Paulo in the mid nineteenth century. The tables are also used as source for further analyses. Death thus becomes the object of a complex history, ambiguous at times, since it is one of several stages in a process that starts by the contact with disease but does not end with the end of life, for there remains a body that is to become the source of conflicts and appropriations of diverse kinds. These complex social relationships in an interface with the city, with its problems and customs, can only be understood and disclosed when considered in the context of a hierarchical society submitted to several spheres of power and interacting with them. This being so, disease and death will be approached here as social phenomena, objetcs for historical reflexion, not the least because they do not occur secluded from their time, their space, or the individuals that experience them<br>O presente estudo tem como objetivo a análise das relações que se construíram na sociedade paulistana do século XIX tendo em vista a presença constante das doenças e da morte. Fonte de tensões e de arranjos, rica em elaborações que se forjaram no intuito de elucidá-la, a morte será tratada enquanto parte de uma intrincada rede social vivenciada numa cidade em constante transformação. Anotada a sua maior incidência entre crianças, mulheres, pobres e escravos, coube investigar as possíveis razões para isso, bem como utilizar as quantificações apuradas como base para a elaboração de tabelas que permitiram estabelecer a expectativa de vida dos paulistanos em meados do século XIX. Estas, por sua vez, não estarão aqui inseridas apenas enquanto demonstração senão, também, como fonte para outras análises. A morte, portanto, torna-se o objeto de uma história complexa, por vezes ambígua, até porque, como constatamos, ela é uma das várias etapas de um processo que, iniciado através do contato com a doença, não se esgota com o fim da vida, posto que resta ainda um corpo, daí por diante também transformado em fonte de conflitos e apropriações diversas. Numa interface com a cidade, com seus problemas e costumes, essas complexas relações somente se tornam inteligíveis e passíveis de serem desvendadas quando consideradas no bojo de uma sociedade hierarquizada, submetida a diversas esferas de poder e com elas interagindo. Nesse sentido, a doença e a morte estarão aqui sendo consideradas enquanto fenômenos sociais, objetos passíveis de reflexão histórica, até porque elas não ocorreram apartadas do seu tempo, do seu espaço ou dos indivíduos que as vivenciaram

Previous issue date: 2005-05-30<br>Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico<br>This dissertation titled O cotidiano da morte e a secularização dos cemitérios em Belém na secunda metade do século XIX (1850/ 1891) tried to show understanding around death s meaning along with dead and mortuary ceremonies in Belém in the second half of the 19º century. Thus, the composition studies about the changes in the trip of death from the buries inside a church to open-sky cemeteries, plus the secularization of these spaces. Those questions have gained importance in the following pages cause they started a new parallel about the urban space threated by wide-spread diseases and miasmas exhalated from putrescent bodies. Taking that to explain the tensions formed in the core of Belém s society wich made same significant changes in the path of that specifical society before death and deads. The construction of the cemeteries- Nossa senhora da soledade and Santa Izabel - implacate in complex questios like start to bury dead bodies into open-sky cemeteries intead instead of inside churchs, the wish of the Catolic church to have exclusiveness in these new places, the secularization of those cemeteries and buries keeping in mind the unsolved religious, cultural and social conflicts to understanding the attitudes of the whites, indians, colored, catolics, protestants, masons and the way they used to react before the dead and death. So the city was visualized, it s quotidian and the existing and dying of it s inhabitants and seeing closest the representation before death and dead. To be well acquired with the text the central axel inquire the understanding of how different Belém s social divisions in the 80 s deal with circle of life including bury, mortuary ceremonies and the secularization of the cemeteries<br>Esta dissertação de título O cotidiano da morte e a secularização dos cemitérios em Belém na segunda metade do século XIX (1850 / 1891) , procurou visualizar o caminhar e o permanecer em torno dos significados da morte, dos mortos e dos ritos fúnebres em Belém durante a segunda metade do século XIX. Assim, a dissertação versa sobre as transformações no cotidiano da morte decorrente da mudança dos locais dos enterramentos do interior das Igrejas para os cemitérios a céu aberto, mas também sobre o projeto de secularização destes espaços. Estas questões, aliás, ganham expressividade nas páginas seguintes, pois delas surgiram outros tangenciamentos como os debates acerca da salubridade do espaço urbano ameaçado por epidemias e miasmas emanados dos corpos em decomposição. Foi nesta perspectiva que se buscou interpretar determinadas tensões que se formaram no interior da sociedade belenense e que contribuíram para mudanças significativas no caminhar dessa sociedade frente à morte e aos mortos. A construção dos cemitérios o de Nossa Senhora da Soledade e o de Santa Izabel envolveram questões complexas como o abandono do costume de enterrar nas igrejas e passar a enterrá-los em cemitérios a céu aberto, a exclusividade que a Igreja Católica desejava ter nesses novos espaços, o debate em torno da secularização dos cemitérios e dos enterros civis levantando questões que não ficaram circunscritas às inquietações religiosas, mas estabeleceram conflitos políticos, culturais e sociais, enfim seguir os passos de brancos, índios e negros, Católicos, Protestantes e Maçons e tentar compreender suas atitudes diante da morte e dos mortos. Para isso procurou-se visualizar a cidade, seu cotidiano, o viver e o morrer de seus habitantes, encarar o mais próximo possível as representações frente à morte e aos mortos. Entenda-se então que os eixos centrais da presente dissertação são os que buscam perceber como diferentes segmentos sociais da Belém oitocentista lidaram com o processo de vida e morte, com os enterramentos, os ritos fúnebres, e a secularização dos cemitérios

On October 7th, 2004, construction of the Saskatchewan Forest Centre Building in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan was temporarily halted due to the exposure of human remains from within the soil matrix. Subsequent archaeological investigation revealed the presence of numerous rectangular soil stains suggesting the presence of additional interments within the construction site. The remains of two individuals were recovered during this original construction exposure. The following spring, Western Heritage Services, Inc., in coordination with the Department of Archaeology, University of Saskatchewan, conducted an extensive excavation at the site which unearthed 19 individuals of different racial affiliation, sex, and age. Interment location and an extensive document and literature review suggest that this was the cemetery established by Rev. James Nisbet, founder of the Prince Albert mission. This mission would evolve into the City of Prince Albert. The historic significance and sensitive nature of the site required the involvement of several interest groups including the Heritage Resource Branch of the Department of Saskatchewan Culture, Youth and Recreation, the Prince Albert Historical Society, and above all, St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church which was responsible for the reinterment of the Forest Centre individuals and was an indispensable source of information. Prior to reinterment, a fundamental osteological and paleopathological examination was conducted for each of the 21 individuals. Coordination and completion of cultural material analysis was performed by Amanda Boechler, an undergraduate archaeology student of the University of Saskatchewan and Mark MacKenzie of the Western Development Museum. Preliminary results may be found within the final site report issued by Western Heritage Services, Inc. dated November, 2005.

Atkins performed an archaeological relocation of a nineteenth century cemetery on behalf of Luminant Mining Company, within the Kosse Mine in Robertson County, Texas between the years of 2011 and 2012. The Head Cemetery offers unique opportunities to examine views of death and burial in rural, central Texas during the period of the early statehood until around 1900. The Head family and other members of the settlement were part of a pioneer community exhibiting clear expressions of family and community affiliations through spatiality and the material culture of burials. An analysis of coffin hardware and burial practices provides suggestions for dating and identifying unknown interments and exploring changing sentiments towards death by Anglo American settlers within the broader sociohistorical context of the nineteenth century.<br>text

Full textAbstract:
The primary focus of this thesis is to examine the relationship between diet, as reconstructed via stable isotope analysis, and bone lead levels, quantified by trace element analysis for individuals interred at the Royal Naval Hospital Cemetery (RNHC), A.D. 1793-1822, in Antigua, West Indies. Individuals of both African and European ancestries were recovered from this colonial-era cemetery, and samples from their remains were analyzed to determine stable carbon and nitrogen isotope values (as a proxy for diet), and bone lead levels. The data were then compared in order to elucidate any association among the variables. This investigation revealed that the relationship between diet and lead may have been affected by many variables including ancestry, status, agency, and duration of stay in the West Indies. However, from the results presented in this thesis, the strongest correlation between stable isotope signatures and bone lead levels is in the relationship between δ13Ccollagen and lead for individuals consuming a diet primarily consisting of C3 staple starches and C3 fed animals.
A secondary focus of this thesis is to estimate the extent to which the individuals interred at the RNHC may have suffered from symptoms of lead poisoning. Through conversion of bone lead levels to blood lead levels, potential symptomatology may be estimated in order to determine the percentage of individuals from the population that may have experienced mild to severe lead poisoning. In this population, a majority of individuals had high enough blood lead levels that they may have suffered from a range of symptoms associated with exposure to lead, which is not inconsistent with historical assertions that lead poisoning was of considerable detriment to the health and well-being of individuals serving in the British military in the colonial Caribbean. This study provides further insight into the health and lifeways of lower-ranking naval personnel and enslaved labourers owned by the Navy in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century West Indies.

Full textAbstract:
This project hypothesizes that the use of multiple ground-based remote sensing methods can collectively characterize the geophysical signatures of four marked human burials at the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians historic period cemetery. If the geophysical signatures of the marked burials can be characterized, these signatures may be used to located unmarked burials within the Siletz cemetery. To investigate this hypothesis, several research questions focused on the results from topographic, cesium gradiometer, and ground-penetrating radar surveys. A 15m x 15m region of the cemetery containing four marked burials defines the survey region. The results of each survey were individually and collectively examined to identify the characteristic geophysical signatures of the four marked burials. The topographic and magnetic surveys identified geophysical anomalies spatially associated with the some of the marked burials. The ground-penetrating radar survey was the most productive by identifying geophysical anomalies spatially associated with all four marked burials. Even though signals from the burials appeared with mixed results, it proved difficult to characterize the geophysical signatures of the burials in the individual and collective geophysical data. Without a characterization of the geophysical signature of the marked burials, it is difficult to identify unmarked burials at the Siletz cemetery. Due to the success of the radar at "seeing" all four marked burials it may be possible to identify areas free of unmarked burials.<br>Graduation date: 2001
