Summary
This is an abstract from the "POSTER Session 3: Material Culture and Site Studies" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
Insects and plant fragments in graves tell a lot about the funeral ceremonies; the burial circumstances and the deceased. They also report events after burial; how the mummification process has progressed or what happened in and outside of the coffin after burial. This poster focuses specifically on the analysis of the insect remains. The investigated graves are dated from 17th to 19th centuries in churches of Kempele, Haukipudas and Keminmaa, Finland.
