    Until "recently" in evolutionary terms, child birth was much more dangerous toi the mother, and pregnancies much more frequent, putting a much higher strain on her. The pressure is gone, the woman lives longer. Now, at leastt in first world countries that doesn't mean it's better: generally, men have a tendency to die earlier, but quickly, or with a rapid decline, whereas women's last years are often overshadowed by long, painful decay and low life quality. But this has nothing to do with your graveyard, unless it was opened very recently (and then it still wouldn't explain the 6:1 ratio). One could conclude that there are much more men than women - not very likely either. Maybe, where you found the graveyard, women aren't given separate, named graves.

      Lots of women are buried in unmarked graves.

        I think one real reason is that men have traditionally done more physical work over their lifetimes than women. Perhaps that takes a toll on one's health after many years.

                      Your logic's a bit in question, there. The empirical data you provide would appear to indicate that there are a lot more men than women, not that they die younger.
