About this item
Product details
Gravestones, cemeteries, and memorial markers offer fixed points in time to examine Americans' changing attitudes toward death and dying. In tracing the evolution of commemorative practices from the seventeenth century to the present, Sherene Baugher and Richard Veit offer insights into our transformation from a preindustrial and agricultural to an industrial, capitalist country.
Paying particular attention to populations often overlooked in the historical record--African Americans, Native Americans, and immigrant groups--the authors also address the legal, logistical, and ethical issues that confront field researchers who conduct cemetery excavations. Baugher and Veit reveal how gender, race, ethnicity, and class have shaped the cultural landscapes of burial grounds and summarize knowledge gleaned from the archaeological study of human remains and the material goods interred with the deceased.
From the practices of historic period Native American groups to elite mausoleums, and from almshouse mass graves to the rise in popularity of green burials today, The Archaeology of Cemeteries and Gravemarkers provides an overview of the many facets of this fascinating topic.
Sherene Baugher, professor of archaeology at Cornell University, is the coeditor of Archaeology and Preservation of Gendered Landscapes. Richard F. Veit is professor of anthropology at Monmouth University and the coauthor of New Jersey Cemeteries and Tombstones: History in the Landscape.- American Experience in Archaeological Pe The Archaeology of American Cemeteries and Gravemarkers, (Hardcover)
