"The Office of the Architect has identified several places on Grounds through archaeological surveys that could be recognized as historically significant memorial sites, such as the McGuffey Cottage and Pavilion VI gardens. The most recent site was discovered last fall, when 67 unmarked grave shafts were found adjacent to and north of the University cemetery. They have been left undisturbed, so the persons buried there have not been identified, but they were most likely slaves, according to Benjamin Ford of Rivanna Archaeological Services. A Gravesite Commemoration Committee was formed to recommend how to memorialize the area." news.virginia.edu/content/uva-president-appoints-commission-slavery-and-university
