Crews said they still have not found evidence of human remains at Oaklawn Cemetery, but they're still searching.

The team has moved their search slightly south of the first dig site. State archaeologist Kary Stackelbeck said on Wednesday, the third day of the test excavation, they found similar items as yesterday, like animal bones, including cow ribs and cow tibias.

They also started using other archaeological techniques like argoprobes and coring, where they are taking soil samples deeper in the trench than the 8 feet they've dug right now.
