Hi Rachel,

  Did you get any hits for the cemetery session?  I had been swamped with some other projects but am considering organizing a session.

All the best,

Rich

Subject: Re: SHA Québec 2014:

Greetings,
I was wondering if anyone is doing a session dealing with cemeteries or mortuary practices for the upcoming SHA in Quebec.  Alternately, is anyone is doing a session on African American archeology of the American Civil War and early post-bellum period?  I am interested in presenting a paper on an African American post-Emancipation Cemetery in Texas.  Remains from this cemetery are unique in several ways and collectively highlight belief systems, health, and cultural practices during a period-- and in a place-- of intense social instability.

Does anyone have a session they are putting together that this could fit into?  If yes, contact me offline ([log in to unmask] ) and I can provide more details about our work and the site. Thanks.
