Title: Forgotten bones
Description: When a skeleton's head rolled off a dirt pile, all work came to a halt at a construction project in upstate New York. Archaeologists began excavating and found thirteen skeletons. Further investigation revealed that the bones were those of eighteenth-century African American slaves who had worked at the nearby Schuyler farm. Find out what these skeletons tell us about slavery and daily life long ago. Bibliography, Full-Color Photographs, Glossary, Maps, Photo Captions, Timeline, Websites.
