Hello all:) Back in the mid 90s, I directed the archaeological removal and relocation of an African-American skeletal population of 557 individuals from a benevolent/mutual aid society cemetery actively used from 1870 to around 1950 (my thesis topic currently in its final thrashes:). Adjacent to the cemetery under a two hundred year-old oak, we hit a large pile of what I first thought to be domestic debris because of its proximity to the remains of a caretakers house. Careful examination proved that the debris was dominated by ceramic vessels, hair tonic bottles, pomade and cold cream jars, medicine jars and bottles, syringes, insulin bottles, and a wide variety of food jars and bottles. I interpreted the deposit as an area the caretaker used to discard surface offerings during cemetery clean-ups as the frequency of most of the products represented in the deposit were too extreme for any single person or family to use in a lifetime. This deposit measured approximately twenty meters in diameter and up to one meter in thickness. A similar feature was observed on the opposite side of the cemetery. Dan Allen
