💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🔪🔒 Archaeologists in #Pień, #Poland uncovered a 400-year-old grave of a young woman buried with a sickle across her neck and a padlock on her toe, defenses against the dead rising.
#DNA and isotope analysis showed she was wealthy, grew up locally, and suffered malnutrition. The grave was reopened later to add the objects, as the community feared her even after death.

XVII-century Karaite graveyard in Halych, Ukraine. Not a big one despite being used until 2015.

a good notification from FindAGrave, someone took a photo of the grave of Louis Grupp's father (mentioned in the thread below), Abraham Samuel Grupp (1860–1932), a #flautist born in Chudniv & a small-time #klezmer musician in New York City around the time of WWI.

This is the second train gravestone I've seen, this one much earlier than the first, and I noticed this gravestone that looks like it might have been paid for by a woodworkers union and says "killed" rather than "death"
