Bone fragments found in Guelph at Baker Street tunnel
Location was a burial ground in the early 1800s
More bone fragments have been found by Guelph workers in a section of buried tunnel under a parking lot in the downtown core.
The discovery came as workers shut off the water as part of a project to remove a parking booth at the Baker Street parking lot.
"We have called the coroner and an archaeologist and are awaiting their arrival on site," said Allister McIlveen, manager of Transportation Services in a statement.
"We will provide an update when we hear back from the coroner's test and archeological investigations."
Not first remains
The location was once the site of an all-faith public burial ground from 1827 to 1853.
Human remains have been found at the Baker Street location before.
Remains unearthed in 2005 of a man, woman, nine infants and other incomplete remains were reinterred at Woodlawn Memorial Park in a special section of the cemetery.
The remains of an infant found in 2010 were also reinterred to Woodlawn Memorial Park.
