Excavation, the process by which archeologists gather information, is the principle behind the composition of these poems— these are acts of imagination, of identification. In linking my singular life with the lives of others, I hope to tap into the common human yearning, to paraphrase my poem "The Fat Woman, " to be swallowed up by something, anything, bigger than ourselves.

No / From the Proceedings of the Fifth Annual Conference of the British Association for Biological Anthropology and Osteoarchaeology held in Southampton, England in 2003... (6) - Tallow Hill Cemetery, Worcester: The importance of detailed study of post-mediaeval graveyards (Alan R. Ogden, Anthea Boylston and Tom Vaughan).

This dissertation recovers the political histories of New England's historic graveyards. From their early rejection of English burial practices to their modern incarnation as tourist attractions, New England's historic graveyards have been public forums for political posturing and debate. Far from the tranquil sanctuaries of later imagination, burying grounds of the colonial era were places where both the powerful and the relatively powerless could make shows of their strengths and air their grievances.

The graveyard is located at Formoso river flood plain. Several chemical and physical analyses were done at underground water collected at monitoring wells installed inside the graveyard and on its surrounds. Monitoring wells were positioned so possible aquifer contamination from the graveyard could be detected. The following parameters were analyzed: nitrate, ammoniated nitrogen, BOD, QOD, pH, electrical conductivity, temperature, total phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, sodium, total coliforms and E. coli. Water sampling was made monthly from august, 2007 to march, 2008, resulting in seven different samples from each well. High electrical conductivity values – typically found in saline or residual water were found at well number 5, located below the cemetery on underground flow direction. These values are associated with high values for ammoniated nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, sodium and E. coli. As a conclusion, graveyards can behavior as a source of pollution/contamination of underground water by flowing of burial leakage. / O presente trabalho apresenta os resultados de um estudo de caso realizado no cemitério da cidade de Tabuleiro (MG), localizado na planície de inundação do Rio Formoso e em seu entorno. Nestas análises foram analisadas amostras de água subterrânea coletadas em poços de monitoramento instalados dentro da área do cemitério e em seu entorno, pelas quais foi acompanhado o grau de contaminação do aqüífero. Foram avaliados os parâmetros: nitrato, nitrogênio amoniacal, DBO, DQO, pH, condutividade hidráulica, condutividade elétrica, temperatura, fósforo, cálcio, sódio, potássio, magnésio, coliformes totais e Escherichia Coli, em sete campanhas mensais realizadas no período de agosto de 2007 a março de 2008. Foi encontrado valores elevados de condutividade elétrica (típicos de águas salinas ou águas residuárias) no poço de monitoramento 5 a jusante do cemitério, valores estes associados à presença elevada de amônia, cálcio, magnésio e sódio. A estes parâmetros soma-se a presença elevada de Escherichia coli. Concluindo-se, portanto, que cemitérios podem constituir fonte de poluição/contaminação de águas subterrâneas, por escoamento de necrochorume.
