Happy New Year all,
The Office of Archaeological Studies (OAS) has conducted salvage excavations at the site of the Kearney Road Cemetery, Santa Fe on several occasions when the Public Service Company and others have forgotten there was a 19th century Mexican Period, early-Territorial cemetery in the area. You should contact Steve Post, Associate Director, OAS, [log in to unmask] for further information.  At the same time I'd like to recommend the following book:

Will de Chaparro, Martina
2007    Death and Dying in New Mexico.  University of New Mexico Press, Albuquerque.

Good luck, and don't hesitate to contact us if we can be of further help.

Dedie Snow

> Greetings all,

> I am curious if anyone out there knows of archaeological relocations of 19th or early 20th century cemeteries that have been conducted in Mexico. If not, does anyone know of any archaeologists from Mexico or who work in Mexico who might have knowledge about historic cemetery archaeology in that country?
