An archaeology project to find and exhume unmarked graves at a Central Otago cemetery begins today.
The delicate University of Otago task at the 150-year-old Drybread Cemetery, near Omakau, will take about a month.
The cemetery was established in the early 1860s during a gold-rush but faded away about 30 years later as the diggers moved on.
Project co-leader, professor Hallie Buckley, speaks to Corin Dann.
