Remains of nearly 70 people found in Indiana during sewer project
The remains of nearly 70 people have been found during a massive sewer project in southwest Indiana.
A new storage system was going in where an old church in Evansville used to stand.
While working on the site, a more than a century-old cemetery was found.
Sixty-three of the bodies have been removed from the location at the time of writing, but there are still five in the ground.

Cultural resource analysts said it's not surprising there are so many graves, but rather that the remains have not been moved or disturbed by other activity or construction in almost 200 years.
Archeologists knew there was a cemetery in the area, but didn't know exactly where because it was not marked.
Over the years, roads and buildings have been developed around and on top of the cemetery.
