摘要: This study conducts a multi-isotopic bioarchaeological analysis of the Avondale Burial Place (McArthur Cemetery), recently discovered Emancipation-era African American cemetery near Macon, GA. Stable isotopic analyses were performed on available dental remains in order to reconstruct diet and demography individuals buried at McArthur Cemetery. Specifically, δ 18 O 13 C characterized tooth enamel examined tandem with collaborative osteological mortuary early-life residential origin. The results suggest that members community did not experience significant mobility, but rather resided area for most their lives. Overall, these greatly contribute genealogical research Cemetery‘s descendants as well fragmented history South by exploring whether this took part Great Migration following Civil War.
