AIA Jax Lecture: Living with the Dead: Mourtuary Treatments in the SW

Time: 12:00 pm til 1:00 pm

Location: Room 1209, Building 51 at UNF

Description: Gordon Rakita, a bioarchaeologist and Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of North Florida, will examine several cases of unusual mortuary treatments from the Southwest and discuss what he thinks they tell us about these fascinating cultures. The American Southwest has been called by some scholars a natural laboratory for anthropology where human burials offer more information per cubic meter than any other part of an archaeological site. He will also discuss some of the work he and his students have recently been doing in historic cemeteries here on the First Coast.
