Hmmm...at what point do we decide not to disturb graveyards? I am all for archeology, just a question.

When I lived in Tidewater Virginia, some university began to dig up a site where British soldiers were buried from the Battles around Yorktown.

They got a letter from the British Embassy asking them to stop as it was a graveyard of their soldiers.

Exactly what I am referring to. It can be a sticky desion. I am just wondering what the parameters would be in deciding when to dig and when to honor the grave.

I have no answers.
