And I'm sure it is a coincidence of cosmic proportions that these "discoveries" are coming to light right at the same time as the discussion on slavery reparations.

I don't find these allegations of "slavery" convincing. Housing a group of workers in buildings is hardly evidence. A large ranch has bunkhouses for cowboys, after all, and the guys get paid as well as receiving part of their compensation in form of room and board.
The reparations crew will point to anything that indicates that more than one black person lived in a 2348634-mile radius as evidence of slavery.

"Historians are stunned by some of the evidence," said Cheryl LaRoche, a historical archaeologist at the University of Maryland. "The popular notion is that slavery in the North consisted of two or three household servants, but there is growing evidence that there were slaveholding plantations," she said. "It's hard to believe that such a significant and pervasive part of the past could be so completely erased from our history."
Nothing new here to Southerners and true historians.

I wonder ... just how would you know from a skeleton whether it was a slave or not? Just because it was a black person doesn't necessarily mean the person was a slave. Also it's very possible that they wanted to live and work on a plantation, estate etc. for the the same reasons today that others work for wealthy people. I guess it depends on your outlook when you find the skeletion.

This article has a certain stench about it... . Why was it that when the slaves got to the north they were "free" ? Why did sounthern blacks escape and head north if not for freedom?
