As well as the skeletons from the cemetery, they found more than 10,000 artifacts, including buttons, bullets and belt buckles.
"It's going to give us a lot of information about the people of that time and the way of life of those people," said Simon Otis, one of the archeologists working on the project.
He said tests performed on the bones can reveal what people in Rivières ate three centuries ago, as well as the illnesses they had and the kind of work they did. [continue]
