Since search teams began the latest excavations at Oaklawn Cemetery, the City of Tulsa said 40 graves have been exposed that were not previously known.
The City said three sets of remains were exhumed since work restarted July 22nd. In one case, a bullet was found with a set of remains.
Archaeologists said it was the third confirmed gunshot victim found in the yearslong search for graves of victims from the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.
The exhumed remains were found in adult-sized wooden caskets near where a known Tulsa Race Massacre victim was found.
Hand excavations are set to continue next week.
