Anyone else ever hear of this?

Yes but that is not the case in this particular situation. The entire article was posted until the Mod randomly chose to narrow it down to one line! According to the original article:

The very old bones likely are centuries old dating back to when the Green was used as a cemetery during colonial times until the Grove Street cemetery was chartered in 1797. There remain an estimated 5,000 people buried under the Green.

Essentially, in this instance, the bones are older than the 100 year old tree.

Thanks NYer and Graewoulf. Looks like they found the grounds of the former Miskatonic University. Just adding to the catalog, not sending a general distribution. To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.
