I live in the Philadelphia Broadcasting area.  The local news coverage
is not any better nor is it any more thorough.

I was bothered by the fragments of skulls sitting in a red silk lined
box  
and wondered why we were not viewing skeletons in the ground. What a
great pity  
the work does not appear to be professionally documented.

Interesting story, but certainly doesn't appear to be  archaeology.  My
view 
of their website indicates that these are amateur  excavations by a
history 
professor and his reverend brother.  I am  troubled by any story that
starts 
with "we pulled a skull from the  ground."

Interesting little report on a small piece of history: a  mass grave,
possibly of Irish immigrant railway construction workers,  possibly
victims
of cholera or cholera-induced anti-immigrant  hysteria:
