Ground-Penetrating Radar Tests at Possible Grave Sites in Eastern Kansas (2001)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Robert Nickel.

Four small areas that might contain graves associated with use of the California and Oregon Trail segments in Eastern Kansas were examined with a group of geophysical instruments. Two sites contain apparent headstones with the names of the people believed to be buried there. All four of the sites also contain irregular stones without inscriptions that might be grave markers. Historic journal accounts written by travelers along the trails suggest the potential for multiple interments in the...

"Making a Box Worthy of a Sleeping Beauty": Burial Container Surface Treatments in the 19th and Early 20th Centuries (2020)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jeremy Pye.

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

Reassessing the Early Metallic Burial Case Industry 1848-1858 (2022)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Scott C Warnasch.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The chronology and legacy of Fisk’s metallic burial cases and the subsequent manufacturers of the 1850s has always been vexingly incomplete. A paucity of detailed primary sources and a significant omission in an early historical account, repeated in secondary sources, primarily Habenstein and Lamers (1955) and somewhat echoed by...
