For a complete explanation of the methodology used to identify cemeteries and build this map, view the complete dissertation here. The following variables are included in this version of the map:

• NAME: Cemetery name

• TYPE: Broad category used to identity and define the general usage of a cemetery or the group or groups responsible for its establishment and use.

• SUB-TYPE: Secondary category used to identify and define the general usage of a cemetery or the group or groups responsible for its establishment and use with greater specificity.

• RELIGION: Religious affiliation for applicable cemeteries (represents affiliation at time of establishment)

• METHOD: The method of burial (e.g., inhumation and/or entombment)

• ASSOC’N: The association between the burial ground and the property on which it was located (e.g., a stand-alone cemetery; churchyard; or cemetery located on the grounds of an institution)

• STATUS: The current status of the cemetery (e.g., Active, Obliterated, or Preserved); please note that cemeteries can have more than one section assigned to a different status. Please note that cemetery obliteration does not mean that all human remains were removed from a site.

• REINTERM’T: Information regarding the place of reinterment (if any) for obliterated cemeteries

• OPEN YR: The year of the cemetery’s establishment or first known burial, if known

• CLOSE YR: The year of the cemetery’s closure or last known burial, if known

• OBLIT YR: The year of a cemetery’s obliteration, if known

• MAP REF: The reference/information used to identify and map the cemetery’s boundaries

• OTHER: Additional known information

• SOURCES: Bibliographical citations (see dissertation for complete list of references)
