Exhumation led to discovery of almost 2,000 bodies that were believed to have been moved from an old graveyard.
Archaeologists have completed the largest mass exhumation in Australian history from an old cemetery, which led to the discovery of almost 2,000 bodies that were believed to have been moved from the old graveyard over which the country's one of oldest and distinguished schools is located.
The discovery included attempts to identify the bodies— hampered by appalling burial practices and poor record-keeping. According to Brad Williams, a historical archaeologist, it is unclear exactly how many bodies were exhumed in the 1960s.
