When I read this post I immediately thought of Haleigh Cummings. I guess the remains are much too old for her.

Not necessarily--forensically speaking, anything more than a couple of years is going to look old to somebody just eyeballing the remains. It will take a trained forensic examiner to figure out the real age. So I wouldn't want to rule her out.

Zooming in, it appears that there's one set of lines running more or less beside Kennedy Street and another along South Palm Avenue.

I couldn't find any information about this specific case, but there have been several discoveries of old bones in the St. Augustine/Palatka area that were determined to be historical--Spanish and American colonists, a slave cemetery, and even some prehistoric natives. The area has apparently been settled for several thousand years.
