High-tech search on for unmarked Indigenous graves

Wednesday, 08 April 2009 15:30 |

ABC News reports a team of archaeologists and community members will use cutting edge technology to locate unmarked Aboriginal graves in Albany on the southern Western Australia coast.

Geophysical equipment will be used at the Albany Memorial Cemetery to find and mark the graves without having to dig up any soil.

Project coordinator David Guilfoyle says the cemetery was the first of its kind in WA and estimates some of the graves could date back to the mid-1800s.
