Despite ceremony, NY fort’s skeletons not buried

A photograph provided by David Starbuck and made in 1993 shows human skeletons uncovered during a 1950s archaeological excavation prior to the reconstruction of Fort William Henry in Lake George, N.Y. They were among the 10 skeletons of French and Indian War soldiers unearthed in what was the original fort’s military cemetery. In the spring of 1993, after nearly 40 years on display, the skeletons were scheduled for reburial on Memorial Day weekend in 1993. The fort’s owners and the two anthropologists who studied the skeletons 19 years ago recently revealed publicly for the first time that only three skeletons were actually re-interred in 1993. The others, plus several more from the fort’s skeleton collection, remain with an anthropologist at Arizona State University. (AP Photo/HO/David Starbuck)
