City workers in New York stumbled upon a 19th century burial vault beneath the edge of Washington Square Park.
The vault contained skeletal remains dating back to the 19th century, the Department of Design and Construction says.
It is known that the park was once used as a graveyard and for public executions. Archaeologists were called to investigate the site.
