While not an osteologist, I have worked on several historic cemetery sites, part
icularly African American sites-
African Burial Ground, New York;
1810-22 First African Baptist Church Cemetery, Philadelphia;
Slave Burial Ground, Catoctin, Maryland
I have an article in press on African influenced burial practices in early 19th
century Philadelphia.
