An old graveyard, writes Ruth Little, is a cultural encyclopedia--an invaluable source of insight and information about the families, traditions, and cultural connections that shape a community. But although graveyards and gravemarkers have long been recognized as vital elements of the material culture of New England, they have not received the same attention in the South. Sticks and Stones is the first book to consider the full spectrum of gravemarkers, both plain and fancy, in a southeastern state. From gravehouses to cedar boards to seashell mounds to tomb-tables to pierced soapstones to homemade concrete headstones, an incredibly rich collection of gravemarker types populates North Carolina's graveyards. Exploring the cultural, economic, and material differences that gave rise to such variation, Little traces three major parallel developments: a tradition of headstones crafted of native materials by country artisans; a series of marble monuments created by metropolitan stonecutters; and a largely twentieth-century legacy of wood and concrete markers made within the African American community. With more than 230 illustrations, including 120 stunning photographs by Tim Buchman, Sticks and Stones offers an illuminating look at an important facet of North Carolina's cultural heritage.

Previous mortuary studies have explored the links between the presence of bounded cemeteries and the existence of corporate groups within ancient communities. This thesis examines two cemeteries at Town Creek, a Mississippian civic-ceremonial center located in the southern Piedmont of North Carolina that was occupied from approximately AD 1150-1400. The site consists of a platform mound and central plaza surrounded by archaeological features indicative of kin group cemeteries. The spatial distribution of individuals, artifacts, and select burial attributes within each cemetery are used to investigate variability between groups, and to place these groups within the context of the site's history. Analysis suggests the presence of distinct sub-groups of burials within each cemetery, and comparisons among cemeteries suggest that considerable variation in spatial arrangement occurred among cemeteries. Through examination and comparison of the internal structure of such spatially discrete areas, archaeologists can continue to investigate the creation of social memory and identity of corporate kin groups as a method of understanding connections to economic and political control.

Historic First Presbyterian Church Cemetery was established in 1831 and over time has survived vandalism, storms, an earthquake, and threats of removal. It is a lasting remembrance to the early citizens of Greensboro who carved a city out of the wilderness. Originally the cemetery was located on the edge of town, but because of Greensboro's growth, it is now nestled in the center of the cultural district behind the Greensboro Historical Museum. Those buried in the cemetery are from all walks of lifefrom wealthy to poor, those with doctorate degrees to the illiterate, the famous to those whose names are lost for all time, the newborn to the centenarian, the saint to the sinner, and the slave owner to the abolitionist. The early builders of the city and state and veterans of four wars now rest in the First Presbyterian Church Cemetery.
