Dead white people....obviously racists.....

Really cool story though....wonder if they can run DNA on the bones and try to trace lineage to current folk?.

I wanted to know the DNA as well but a quick look for the study hasn’t revealed any results. This find is from 2017.
I found this from Smithsonian mag -
“During the first week of digging in February, archeologists first discovered an intact adult skeleton and an adult skull nearby. According to Susan Parker at The St. Augustine Register, the bodies have been preliminarily identified as a relatively young white European woman and a man of African ancestry. Outside of the wine shop, they found a leg bone and another skull from two other graves. Last week, they discovered the remains of the children.

Though the remains have not been fully analyzed, a bioarcheologist believes the children were all under 7 years old. “

I was thinking the bodies could also include local Indians.
