Uncovering Halifax's Buried Past
Description
Anthropology students at Saint Mary’s University are using ground-penetrating radar to uncover thousands of unmarked graves in Halifaxs Old Burying Ground, a historic site started in 1749. The cemetery holds about 1200 marked stones, but experts estimate up to 12,000 people may be buried there without markers. Students like Kye Felix spent a week in the field, mapping the graves and revealing old gravel paths. This work will guide plaque installations, monument fixes, and path realignments, breathing new life into Halifaxs buried past.
