Page "Monticello" Paragraph 35

Some of Mulberry Row has been designated as archeological sites, where excavations and analysis are revealing much about slave life at the plantation.

In the winter of 2000-2001, the slave burial ground at Monticello was discovered.

In the fall of 2001, the Thomas Jefferson Foundation held a commemoration of the burial ground, in which the names of known slaves of Monticello were read aloud.

Additional archeological work is providing information about African-American burial practices.
