The house dates back to ca. 1742 and was built on the site of an earlier plantation home for the property known as “Darnall’s Chance”, which was operated as a tobacco plantation from the late 17th through the 19th Century. The site is operated as the Darnall's Chance House Museum by the Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission (MNCPPC) and is situated in the City of Upper Marlboro, the county seat of Prince George’s County, Maryland. The surrounding landscape consists of manicured lawns and stands of mature hardwoods. Schoolhouse Pond, an old mill pond formed by the damming of the Western Branch of the Patuxent, is located just to the west of the standing structure. Galestown soils dominate the site. The original ca. 1742 standing house was a 1½ storey Flemish bond brick house. Architectural evidence suggests that the house had a gambrel roof, although this was altered in the mid 19th century when a full second storey was added in common bond brick. By the mid 19th century, the brick had been stuccoed (to cover the transition from Flemish to common bond) and the structure embellished with Greek Revival and primarily Italianate stylistic elements. In 1986, the entire second floor and roof were removed, and the house was reconstructed to a more 18th century appearance. The planned reconstructions and subsequent development as a historical park were key drivers for the archeological work conducted at 18PR224 around that time. As it now stands, the Buck House is a 1½ storey brick house with a hip-on-gambrel roof. Walls are laid in Flemish bond with queen closers and quoins at corners, as well as masonry openings and tooled joints. Quoins are rare on 18th Century structures in Maryland, and are unique for a house that is less than two storeys. The foundation is English bond with a beveled water table surrounding the building, and is pierced by four elliptical arched cellar windows on the principal (south) façade. The center bay of this façade projects slightly (another rarity), and is surmounted by a pediment with a small round window filled with leaded diamond-pane glass. This center bay contains the principal entrance flanked by 24-light casement windows set in segmental-arched openings with splayed jack arches. The entrance door is set in an arched opening containing a transom of wooded panels above the 8-panel door. The remaining bays on this façade contain leaded four-part windows that include paired 18-light casements below paired 9-light transoms of rectangular panes. The north façade is six bays long, with an entrance in the third bay from the east, consisting of a paneled door with a rectangular wood paneled transom. All six openings have the same tall brick arches as on the south windows, and the windows are the same four-part casements. Two flush chimneys rise from each end of the building. Between these, the wall is pierced by a single window on each floor. These casement windows with leaded diamond-shaped glass panes are surmounted by segmental brick arches. A three-brick string course divides the floors at the level of the gambrel eaves. Hip-roofed dormer windows are symmetrically arranged on the north and south elevations; these are fitted with pairs of leaded diamond-pane casement windows. Four pierce the south slope, on either side of the pediment, and five are evenly spaced on the north slope. Both the gambrel and hip slopes

  • Burial Crypts and Vaults in Britain and Ireland: a Biographical Approach
    19—43 Acta Universitatis Lodziensis. Folia Archaeologica 35(2020) https://doi.org/10.18778/0208-6034.35.02 Harold Mytum https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0577-2064 Burial Crypts and Vaults in Britain and Ireland: a Biographical Approach Various types of burial chamber in Britain belonging to the period from the Ref- ormation until the 19th century have long been investigated archaeologically, but their frequency was only appreciated with the extensive investigation of St. Au- gustine the Less, Bristol, for which unfortunately there is still only an interim report (Boore 1986). The initial classification of both coffins and burial spaces was produced by Julian Litten (1985), and the variability in coffin design was greatly expanded by the investigation of the communal crypt at Christ Church Spital- fields, London (hereafter Spitalfields) during 1984–1986 (Reeve, Adams 1993). The original classification and dating sequence for burial structures proposed by Litten (1985: 10) is still valid, and it is set out in Table 1. Mainly concentrating on elite burial spaces, Litten defined four categories of burial space in 1999: large dynastic vault, family vault, brick grave and extensive private and public vaults (Litten 1999: 115). This study defines the range of types that are most frequently encountered and the form of the evidence normally surviving in these burial spaces, building on these pioneering studies. This study considers for the first time the biography of the coffin, and of the various types of burial spaces, both in terms of successive interment and some of the subsequent taphonomic processes that subsequently affect the location of the coffins within these burial spaces.

Summary Told in the first person by an Italian aristocrat, “The Cask of Amontillado” engages the reader by making him or her a confidant to Montresor’s macabre tale of revenge. The victim is Fortunato, who, the narrator claims, gave him a thousand injuries that he endured patiently, but when Fortunato dared insult him, he vowed revenge. It must be a perfect revenge, one in which Fortunato will know fully what is happening to him and in which Montresor will be forever undetected. To accomplish it, Montresor waits until carnival season, a time of “supreme madness,” when Fortunato, already half-drunk and costumed as a jester, is particularly vulnerable. Montresor then informs him that he has purchased a pipe of Amontillado wine but is not sure he has gotten the genuine article. He should, he says, have consulted Fortunato, who prides himself on being an expert on wine, adding that because Fortunato is engaged, he will go instead to Luchesi. Knowing his victim’s vanity, Montresor baits him by saying that some fools argue that Luchesi’s taste is as fine as Fortunato’s. The latter is hooked, and Montresor conducts him to his empty palazzo and leads him down into the family catacombs, all the while plying him with drink.

  • “To Lie in Yonder Tomb”: the Tomb and Burial of Joseph Smith
    Joseph D. Johnstun: The Tomb and Burial of Joseph Smith 163 “To Lie in Yonder Tomb”: The Tomb and Burial of Joseph Smith Joseph D. Johnstun I have said, Father, I desire to die here among the Saints. But if this is not Thy will, and I go hence and die, wilt thou find some kind friend to bring my body back, and gather my friends who have fallen in foreign lands, and bring them up hither, that we may all lie together. I will tell you what I want. If tomorrow I shall be called to lie in yonder tomb, in the morning of the resurrection let me strike hands with my father, and cry, “My father,” and he will say, “My son, my son,” as soon as the rock rends and before we come out of our graves.1 (Joseph Smith) “The Tomb of Joseph, a Descendant of Jacob” One of Joseph Smith’s greatest desires was a proper resting place for his body once he died. He said on the occasion of the funeral of Lorenzo Barnes, “It has always been considered a great calamity not to obtain an honorable burial: and one of the greatest curses the ancient prophets could put on any man, was that he should go without a burial.”2 The nineteenth century was a time of high mortality rates, and the loss of loved ones and friends for Joseph Smith dominated much of his thought during the last few years of his life. His close associate, Benjamin F. Johnson, noted five songs that were among the Prophet’s favorites.3 All five had the theme of mortality.
