Purdue Researchers Probe Burial Grounds
DELPHI, Ind. — Purdue University researchers are investigating what are believed to be the remains of up to 10 Woodland Indians found in an ancient burial ground.
The remains were discovered earlier this month when workers began digging to install a septic system for a new house. They uncovered a 30- to 40-foot area containing the nearly intact skeletons.
The workers, as required by law, stopped digging and notified officials with the Department of Natural Resources.
Most of the remains will be turned over to a Native American group indigenous to the area, probably the Miami Indians.
