| DEADWOOD, S.D. (AP) _ Skeletal remains believed to be about 100 years old have been unearthed as city officials in Deadwood, S.D., dig a retention wall. It's the second time remains have been discovered at the Taylor Avenue home that sits on the former site of the city's first cemetery. Ingleside Cemetery was used from 1876 to 1878. The Black Hills Pioneer reports that the previous set of remains was found in 2006 and ultimately interred at Mt. Moriah Cemetery. Deadwood Historic Preservation Officer Kevin Kuchenbecker says workers had been digging for about five hours before discovering bones. Officials say that once the remains are fully exhumed, they'll go to the state archaeological research center in Rapid City. A forensic anthropology will try to determine the age, gender and heritage of the deceased. (Copyright 2012 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.) |
