Dear Colleagues,
If you are doing research on mortuary monuments and archaeology please consider contributing to the session that Harold Mytum and I are organizing for the 2020 SHA conference in Boston. Our working title and abstract are below.
Title: Mortuary monuments and archaeology: current research
Organizers:
Harold Mytum, University of Liverpool, UK. [log in to unmask] and Richard Veit, Monmouth University, USA. [log in to unmask]
Abstract:
Since Dethlefsen and Deetz published their seminal works on New England graveyard monuments, archaeologists have consistently contributed to the multi-disciplinary field of memorial studies, providing anthropological and wider comparative perspectives against the often more contextual, particularistic studies of art historians and folk life scholars. This session considers the diversity of both data sets and approaches to memorials by archaeologists today, and thereby seeks to place the results of such studies within the wider concerns of historical archaeology. Given the non-destructive fieldwork involved in the study of mortuary monuments this is an excellent field in which to encourage student and community groups to participate in engaging with historical archaeology in a particular locality, but on the other hand large-scale research and CRM projects can enable study of very large data sets to examine questions on a different scale.
Please contact the session organizers with a title and abstract (150 words max) by 10 June 2019
