This is a poster submission presented at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. For nineteenth century Americans, death played a major social and economic role in daily existence.

They first had to be manufactured and purchased, extending the networks through which they moved and communicated meaning. Combining archival...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Aksum, in northern Ethiopia, was the capital of an ancient polity that spread across the northern Horn of Africa and became a major power in the Indian Ocean trade. The most notable remains of the ancient capital are its towering funerary stelae and...

This is an abstract from the "Burial, Space, and Memory of Unusual Death" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The 18-19th century laws and regulations in Sweden and Finland stated that an autopsy should be carried out in suspected criminal cases to determine cause of death. According to contemporary sources, non-anatomical autopsies were quite rare, and only performed to a distinct group of people: those who had committed suicide, died in hospital or...
