A man I worked with said he found an old slave cemetery on their farm they had bought. No markers but bones only.

Do you know how he traced it back to being a "slave graveyard," as opposed to a small community one? I'm sure such information can be found with proper investigation.

Back in history AA graves were sometimes marked by pottery and even face jugs which are very valuable today. I’m surprised they were completely unmarked.
