DID YOU KNOW?
UofL archaeologist Philip DiBlasi in the 1990s consulted in the criminal investigation of Eastern Cemetery, in which 130,000 remains were buried in a space made for 30,000, and some 200 urns filled with ashes still line the shelves of his office, awaiting return to families. The work has resulted in student research on such topics as diseases rampant in the 19th century, infant mortality and local black undertakers. Watch this video for more.
