By the late 19th century, over-crowding of graves, and the resulting concerns for sanitation and public health, required that the small public and religious burying grounds in St. Augustine be closed.
After the cemetery was closed to burials in 1884, the church continued maintenance of the grounds, and some efforts of restoration were made in 1946 and again in 1951.
Archaeology students at New College documented the grave markers; the Cemetery was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.

 Goethe Exhumed
In 1970, the great poet's remains were taken secretly from his crypt in Weimar, East Germany, cleaned, treated with chemicals, then returned, according to a recent report in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
The cloak-and-dagger operation began when workers repairing the crypt's lock noticed the remains were badly decayed (hardly surprising since Goethe was buried in 1832).
Hoping to display him, Lenin-like, in a glass coffin, local university and museum officials carted the skeleton to the National Goethe Museum, where the bones were stripped of remaining shreds of flesh and treated with preservatives.

Archaeology, aided by oral traditions and comparisons of preserved cultural traits, provides the only means of discovering how people lived, where they came from and went to, etc. Archaeology is often used today as evidence of long-term occupation in land claims settlements.
The archaeology of the historic period is different, however, in that many of the details of these periods are preserved in written records.
Although archaeology is somewhat biased by reliance upon what is preserved in the ground as artifacts and by how this information is retrieved and analyzed, the biases are different than those of historical records and so act as an independent means of assessing this history.

 History of Polynesian Archaeology
In his 1832 “Notice sur les Iles du Grand Océan,” Dumont d’Urville set Polynesia apart from Melanesia, the islands of the southwestern Pacific from New Guinea to Fiji, and from Micronesia, islands north of the equator ranging from the Marianas and Palau in the west to the Marshall Islands in the east.
The greatest impetus to Polynesian archaeology, however, occurred in 1920 when geologist Herbert E. Gregory acceded to the directorship of the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, convened the first international Pan-Pacific Science Conference, and proclaimed the study of Polynesian archaeology and anthropology should be a major research priority (Kirch 2000:20-24).
The rejuvenation of stratigraphic archaeology in Polynesia, and its expansion beyond Polynesia into the western Pacific, was initially driven by a strong culture-historical orientation, encouraged by rapid success in defining considerable time depth and sequences of material culture change (whether in ceramic styles, or in fishhooks and stone adzes).

As Boston's city archaeologist, however, she also knows the drawbacks of such research in a city setting: archaeological remains are under constant threat of destruction because of the pace of development.
