Abstract: |
Graveyard memorials form a rich seam of archaeological evidence, but publication is often in a local format. This volume focuses on the study of historic burial ground monuments but also covers some below ground archaeology, as some projects will involve the study of both. Aspects of the study include the linking between above and below ground data, and the integration of graveyard data within settlement and landscape archaeology. Some areas covered are: a brief history and theoretical approach to historic mortuary archaeology; attitudes to death, the body and remembrance; how to carry out a study; and conservation, education, and display. Appendices provide examples or recording systems, and useful addresses. Includes American and European as well as British data. |
