Artifacts of Mourning
Archaeology of the Historic Burial Ground of the First Baptist Church of Philadelphia
George M. Leader
The First Baptist Church of Philadelphia is the oldest Baptist church in the United States, founded in 1698. The church's historic burial ground is the final resting place for many of the city's most prominent citizens, including Benjamin Franklin, his wife Deborah, and their son William.
In 2013, the church undertook a major archaeological excavation of the burial ground. The excavation uncovered a wealth of artifacts, including coffin handles, grave markers, and personal belongings. These artifacts provide a glimpse into the lives and deaths of the people who were buried in the cemetery.
In this book, George M. Leader presents the results of the archaeological excavation. He discusses the artifacts that were found, and he interprets their significance. Leader also provides a history of the First Baptist Church and its burial ground.
Artifacts of Mourning is a fascinating look at the history of death and mourning in America. The book is also a valuable contribution to the archaeological record of Philadelphia.
