色情视频 professor unearths the secrets buried in San Diego鈥檚 cemeteries in his new book which reveals the results of the . 鈥淐emeteries of San Diego鈥� is a haunting look at the long and intricate history of 鈥淎merica鈥檚 Finest City鈥� retold by the ghosts of San Diego鈥檚 past.

鈥淭his book is as much about San Diego鈥檚 living as it is about its dead,鈥� Mallios said. 鈥淓veryone living in San Diego has a link to the region鈥檚 past. We occupy the same space and continue to transform the local environment, and for many of us, San Diego will eventually be our own final resting place.鈥�

Mallios, associate professor in 色情视频鈥檚 department of anthropology, has spent the past five years directing the San Diego Gravestone Project surveying, inventorying, and analyzing all of the region鈥檚 historical grave markers. Approximately 500,000 deceased are said to be buried in the city鈥檚 nearly two dozen cemeteries and as Mallios reveals, less than half still exist above ground.

The findings of the San Diego Gravestone Project are detailed in Mallios鈥� new book 鈥淐emeteries of San Diego鈥� which will go on sale Monday, March 19. The book is part of 鈥淚mages of America鈥� series which celebrates the history of neighborhoods, towns and cities across the country. 

鈥淐emeteries of San Diego鈥� tells the long-forgotten stories of cemeteries within the current city limits, including mission cemeteries, military cemeteries and pioneer cemeteries. 

Mallios also clears up some local myths like whether Dr. Seuss鈥� ashes are sealed inside his bonze statue at UCSD or if a Polish princess is buried under Highway 94.
鈥淭here are so many fascinating things we discovered during this project that really make San Diego what it is today,鈥� Mallios said.

鈥淪an Diego鈥檚 dead truly tell the best stories about the history of this city. It鈥檚 a shame so many of these gravestones have been erased from the landscape, because along with them, San Diego has lost touch with its origin and its appreciation for its own history.鈥�

Mallios and his team recorded more than 10,000 historic gravestone markers of various size and distinction. Between 1,650 and 3,400 individuals are buried in Calvary Cemetery in Mission Hills. Among those interred are some of San Diego鈥檚 earliest pioneers. As Mallios discovered, the cemetery was abandoned in 1968 and all of the gravestones were knocked down and unceremoniously dumped into a ravine at Mount Hope Cemetery.

鈥淭he only indication that Calvary Cemetery ever existed in Mission Hills is a memorial of about 140 gravestones at Pioneer Park,鈥� Mallios said.

鈥淧eople walking though there today probably don鈥檛 realize they are walking on the graves of several thousand individuals.鈥�

The findings of the San Diego Gravestone Project are catalogued at 色情视频鈥檚 , of which Mallios is the director. In 2006, the project received the annual award for excellence in historic preservation from San Diego鈥檚 Historical Resources Board.
