Yikes! Here in Kentucky we've got several laws against the desecration
of graves in such a manner as this - are there no similar protections in
New York? And for Rangers, to boot?

Anyone heard of this? Saw this article and thought I'd share it with the
group. A case where amateur archaeologists have come across a set of
graves and are now in the process of excavating them. Seems like an
interesting situation..... I included the link to the story.
