Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
This chapter denotes the geographic range of headstones situated respectively in urban churchyards and kirkyards in England and Scotland. A key map provides the spatial extent of these chosen locations and sites in this investigation. The study sample encompasses six different locations, with four cities and two towns. Two cities are identified as ‘main’ cities, placing importance on them in relation to the other locations. Two cities are polarly situated, with one being placed inland and the other to the north. Two towns were chosen for their coastal location to widen the perspective of burials for England and Scotland. A totality of 13 parish churchyards or kirkyards from the six chosen locations have been recorded and are delineated in some historical detail.
