Provincial archeologists have begun the search for evidence of a Black Loyalist burial ground around the Algonquin Resort golf course.
Field researchers spent the week taking "an initial stab" at the site close to the golf club, which — according to the oral history — was a place where black settlers lived and were buried.
"It's not conclusive, but it's the best area we have," said Graham Nickerson, a member of the New Brunswick Black History Society.
