For years, a great deal of mystery surrounded the Daughters of Zion Cemetery in Charlottesville. Now, a new radar survey by NAEVA Geophysics shows more people are buried there than originally thought.
Take a walk through the cemetery and you’ll find approximately 140 markers and tombstones of African-Americans who lived and worked in Charlottesville. According to the ground-penetrating radar from the survey, geologists estimate that 614 unmarked graves sit below the surface.
