Hi Lonesome,

Review my comments in "The Hunley Being Opened Today" Thread.

This is a no gray area with me. I am as strongly held of my feelings regarding graves of ancient peoples as well.

It is fascinating to know that Andean Mummies had maize in the bellies. Rebury them where they where found with reverence and grace. It is intersting that Sioux Indians who died in the 1700's had none of the diseases brought from Europe to west in the 1800's. Rebury them where they were found with the service of a living Native Shaman or religious leader. We don't need to autopsy every set of mortal remains found to satisfy our notions of historical science.
