1921 Graves Investigation Update - November 7, 2022

11/7/2022

Following a brief pause in work because of rain and storms on Friday, archaeologists continued hand-excavation at Oaklawn Cemetery today.   

During this excavation, three sets of remains have been exhumed and taken to the on-site osteology lab for further analysis and processing. Work continues to safely uncover and exhume more sets of remains for analysis.
