[HistoricCemeteries] cemetery preservation/excavation fieldworkopportunities?

[Barb Ledbury]

Hello Trey,

 

Very impressive background.

 

Am wondering if you might be able to give me instruction on how to best
further my ongoing search for locating the resting place for an ancestor of
my husband.  Some of her family members are in the Gresham Pioneer Cemetery
which is where I am thinking that she may have ended up.  I have her 1888
death date from a family bible.  I did find additional records from our
state archive office that indicated a son was buried 1891 in that cemetery
also even though it was not in the cemetery records.

 

Thank you for any suggestion,

Barb Ledbury

Hello, group members.

My name is Trey Batey.  Last summer, looking for a change of pace, my wife
and I moved from Chicago to Portland.  Currently, I teach anthropology
courses at Mt. Hood Community College and am looking for CRM or other
fieldwork opportunities in the area.  My educational background is in
anthropology with a research focus in biological anthropology
(bioarchaeology, paleodemography and paleopathology, human skeletal
variation...).  I have already reached out to the OR Archaeology listserv
and would like to do the same with this group.   

If you know of any upcoming projects related to historic cemetery
preservation---including any involving excavation for relocation---anywhere
near the Portland/Vancouver, please contact me at your convenience.  Also,
please feel free to forward my résumé (attached) to any individuals or
organizations who may need field/lab technicians with a background in
bioarchaeology and human osteology.  Thanks so much.

Best regards,
Trey
