This book aims to fill some of that gap by exploring the relationships and organization of early British colonial burial grounds within the context of their own settlements and the wider northeast coast. Early settlers immigrated to North America for many reasons, and there, away from the Church of England, they could freely explore their relationship with their faith, community and death, represented today through the organization of their burial landscapes and burial practices. By studying the relationship between burial grounds and their associated settlements, we gain a more holistic understanding of how settlers related to, interpreted, and ultimately handled the reality of human mortality. This book examines the organization of 40 burial grounds founded by British settlers on the northeast coast of North America in the 17th century, with the intention of identifying trends in burial ground organization during this period of early colonization. The results can be applied to archaeological or historical research on colonial settlements that have not yet located their earliest burial ground. The book expands the current knowledge base of settler relationships with mortality through the physical placement of burials and interaction with burial landscapes within their new settlements. 410 0$aEmerald points. 606 $aFuneral rites and ceremonies$zUnited States$xHistory$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775 606 $aSocial Science, Death & Dying$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial & cultural anthropology, ethnography$2bicssc 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775 615 0$aFuneral rites and ceremonies$xHistory 615 7$aSocial Science, Death & Dying. 615 7$aSocial & cultural anthropology, ethnography. 676 $a393.10973 700 $aLacy$b Robyn S.$01610651 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818146203321 996 $aBurial and death in colonial North America$93938483 997 $aUNINA
