The excavation and analysis of human remains in an early French Colonial cemetery on the Gulf Coast. (12 months)

Emergency grant support is requested for the excavation and analysis of human remains in an early French Colonial cemetery on the Gulf Coast. The cemetery became exposed when the house that had been built over it, which was located on the beach, was reduced to rubble because of hurricane surge water.
