SUMMARY:Uncovering Cemeteries
DESCRIPTION:As archaeological sites\, human burials are unique in the 
 types of information that can be obtained about the past. However\, fu
 ll exhumation is not common and comes with a set of legal\, ethical\, 
 and political issues. In Delaware\, most cemetery projects involve del
 ineating the burials to protect them from unintentional disturbance du
 ring construction projects. These projects can produce valuable histor
 ical information. Dr. Otter will discuss the breadth of cemetery proje
 cts and how research reconnects the living with the dead.\n\n\n\n\n\nH
 ost: Ed Otter\n\nDr. Edward Otter has a Ph.D. in archaeology from the 
 Catholic University of America. He has over 40 years of experience in 
 conducting archaeological studies\, including nearly 50 projects invol
 ving cemeteries. He was one of the founding board members of the Coali
