She examines the choices and elements impacting the development of burial grounds and interment in British colonial settlements, as well as funerals and burial practices, burial ground organization, gravestone-carving traditions, and folk traditions transferred from the British Isles to North America. She looks at sites between 1607 and the 1690s in the Atlantic Coast from Virginia to Maine, including Newfoundland. She describes background on the political and social elements of life in the British Isles and the effects of the Protestant Reformation on British burial traditions in British North America in the early 17th century; aspects of burial archaeology like gravestones, coffin structure and fixtures, burial position, and personal objects like burial clothing, as well as the use of apotropaic marks as protection for the soul; the spatial analysis of burial organization and the concept of burial landscape; and a case study of Ferryland, Newfoundland.
