In those thirty years, more than 1700 burials1 have been excavated by Brigham Young University. In all of those years of excavation, not a single mummy portrait has been found, even though many of the mummies were interred during the era when some people from this area were having mummy portraits created for their burial. Despite this fact, our research has shown that Fag el-Gamous is the source of at least seven mummy portraits unearthed at the turn of the 20th century.

  • The Dread Taboo, Human Sacrifice, and Pearl Harbor
    The Dread Taboo, Human Sacrifice, and Pearl Harbor RDKHennan The word taboo, or tabu, is well known to everyone, but it is especially interesting that it is one of but two or possibly three words from the Polynesian language to have been adopted by the English-speaking world. While the original meaning of the taboo was "Sacred" or "Set apart," usage has given it a decidedly secular meaning, and it has become a part of everyday speech all over the world. In the Hawaiian lan­ guage the word is "kapu," and in Honolulu we often see a sign on a newly planted lawn or in a park that reads, not, "Keep off the Grass," but, "Kapu." And to understand the history and character of the Hawaiian people, and be able to interpret many things in our modern life in these islands, one must have some knowledge of the story of the taboo in Hawaii. ANTOINETTE WITHINGTON, "The Dread Taboo," in Hawaiian Tapestry Captain Cook's arrival in the Hawaiian Islands signaled more than just the arrival of western geographical and scientific order; it was the arrival of British social and political order, of British law and order as well. From Cook onward, westerners coming to the islands used their own social­ civil codes as a basis to judge, interpret, describe, and almost uniformly condemn Hawaiian social and civil codes. With this condemnation, west­ erners justified the imposition of their own order on the Hawaiians, lead­ ing to a justification of colonialism and the loss of land and power for the indigenous peoples.

  • Guide to Cemetery Surveying
    Georgia’s State Historic Preservation Office IIIIIICCCeeemmmeeettteeerrryyy PPPrrreeessseeerrrvvvaaatttiiiooonnn QQQUUUIIICCCKKK TTTIIIPPPSSSIIIIII Guide to Cemetery Surveying 1. Consider carefully the scope of your cemetery survey project. The scope of a cemetery survey project can vary according to your established goals and/or your organizational resources. For instance, your project could be to record the locations of all the cemeteries in the entire county, or you could be interested in just recording the information about one specific cemetery. Either is beneficial, especially when taking into consideration what you can realistically achieve. You can always do more later and add to previously gathered information. Consider the following when planning the scope of your cemetery survey: • For a county-wide cemetery location survey, the main tasks are finding all the cemeteries in the county, making a record of the locations, and marking them on a map. • For a survey of an individual cemetery, tasks include: o Determining its boundaries accurately, including unmarked graves; mapping within the cemetery boundaries the layout of graves and plots. o Recording grave marker inscriptions and keying them to a map of the cemetery’s layout. o Photographing all grave markers, monuments, and other features of the cemetery, referencing their locations on the cemetery map. o Recording the condition of grave markers, monuments, fencing, and other features. o Recording the condition of the landscape (erosion problems, plant overgrowth), and other observable problems, such as vandalism. 2. Determine the underlying purpose of your cemetery survey project. In other words, ask yourself specifically what is the end use of the information you are gathering.

  • Do's and Don'ts of Cemetery Cleanups
    THE “DO’S AND DON’TS” OF CEMETERY CLEANING GETTING THERE: DO seek permission from abutting property owner to pass through their land. Ask where to park the car to be out of their way. Your consideration on their behalf may net you some cooperation (and maybe even some help) from them. Respect their land and their wishes. Leave no refuse on their property. If you pass through closed gates, re-close them. Always leave everything on abutting property as you find it. STONES: DO NOT move gravestones. If they appear to be out of place, draw a map showing the location of the stone. Indicate by arrow where the stones should be (if known). List names and dates. Slate and small marble stones that are broken off and out of place are in jeopardy of theft. Please list ALL information that appears on the stone. Call Commissioner if stone is perceived to be endangered. Photograph if possible. LIVING TREES: DO NOT cut large living trees in burial grounds, even when they are engulfing a stone. In such a case, the best method is to photograph and record all visible information on the stone. Felling large trees endangers other stones and opens the area to sunlight, which encourages rapid second growth, such as briars, sumac and poison ivy. The large trees provide shade and thereby inhibit undesirable growth from overrunning the cemetery. FALLEN TREES: DO NOT drag large trees across gravestones. Get help to carefully lift away from the stones. Large branches should be cut into sections and carried away.

  • Grave Goods, Hoards and Deposits ‘In Between’I
    Spectrums of depositional practice in later prehistoric Britain and beyond: grave goods, hoards and deposits ‘in between’i Anwen Cooper, Duncan Garrow and Catriona Gibson Paper accepted for publication in Archaeological Dialogues 27(2), Dec 2020 Abstract This paper critically evaluates how archaeologists define ‘grave goods’ in relation to the full spectrum of depositional contexts available to people in the past, including hoards, rivers and other ‘special’ deposits. Developing the argument that variations in artefact deposition over time and space can only be understood if different ‘types’ of finds location are considered together holistically, we contend that it is also vital to look at the points where traditionally defined contexts of deposition become blurred into one another. In this paper, we investigate one particular such category – body-less object deposits at funerary sites – in later prehistoric Britain. This category of evidence has never previously been analysed collectively, let alone over the extended time period considered here. On the basis of a substantial body of evidence collected as part of a nationwide survey, we demonstrate that body-less object deposits were a significant component of funerary sites during later prehistory. Consequently, we go on to question whether human remains were actually always a necessary element of funerary deposits for prehistoric people, suggesting that the absence of human bone could be a positive attribute rather than simply a negative outcome of taphonomic processes. We also argue that modern, fixed depositional categories sometimes serve to mask a full understanding of the complex realities of past practice and ask whether it might be productive in some instances to move beyond interpretatively confining terms such as ‘grave’, ‘hoard’ and ‘cenotaph’.

  • What Should Be Done When a Loved One Dies?
    1 What Should be Done when a Loved One Dies? The following are the specific Islamic rites honoring the deceased: 1) Closing the eyes of the deceased: The Prophet (pbuh) said, “When a soul is seized, the eyesight follows it.” 2) Covering the deceased: Covering the deceased is a way of respecting and preserving the dignity of the deceased. 3) Donation of organs: Donate any organ or part of the body only if the deceased requested in his/her will and testament or is registered as a donor. Family members have no rights to donate organs or parts of the body without the prior consent of the deceased. 4) Arrangements for burial: Family members may contact any Islamic funeral director in the area to handle the burial procedures including the funeral prayer and prepare for burial without delay. 5) Informing relatives and friends: It is desirable to inform relatives, neighbors, friends and co- workers of the deceased about his or her death so that they may share in the reward of participating in the funeral prayer as well as praying for the deceased. 6) Washing the body: The guardian of the deceased should wash, wrap and arrange for the funeral prayer prior to burial. The funeral director may assist in case the guardian is unable to do so. 7) Funeral prayer: The funeral prayer or salat al-Janazah is a collective duty upon the Muslim community. The funeral prayer may be performed at a mosque or any public community hall. The prayer is led by a local Imam or preferably by the male guardian, son or any person the deceased may have designated.
