Spirits Alive
In 2016, developers in Philadelphia discovered their building site at 218 Arch Street was a cemetery thought to have been moved to the Mount Moriah Cemetery across town in 1860. Volunteers from the Arch Street Project have worked to understand not only why these interments were not moved, but also about the lives and deaths of these individuals.
Dr. Bonneau, the primary historian of the project, will take us through the history of this congregation and community of the dead (1709 to 1859) using techniques that combine the modern technologies of skeletal, DNA and isotopic analysis with related church documents to identify these individuals.
