HIDDEN DIFFERENCES BENEATH A SURFACE EQUALITY: MORTUARY VARIABILITY IN TWO LATE-NINETEENTH-CENTURY CEMETERIES IN CRAWFORD COUNTY,ARKANSA |
| |
Abstract: | ![]() AbstractLocated in northwest Arkansas, the Becky Wright and Eddy cemeteries were inundated during expansion of a reservoir. These small, contemporary, Euroamerican burial grounds date to the late nineteenth century and were situated less than a mile apart. Based on above-ground features, the cemeteries appeared virtually identical, both displaying characteristics typical of the Upland South Cemetery type. Contextualized analysis of the graves, however, revealed dramatic differences between the cemeteries. |
