Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to begin, in an orderly and logical fashion. the study of coffin hardware. This discussion should be of use to bio-archaeologists who are involved in burial or cemetery removal projects. This work was born of the fortuitous discovery of a large "cache" of late nineteenth and early twentieth century coffin hardware at the store of A.L. Calhoun, Jr. in Clio, South Carolina.
