But is this a case of "seen one, seen 'em all"? I am beginning to wonder if 
 the architecture is identical in Delaware, South Carolina, Louisiana and 
out  here in the Far Southwest? When I read statements like, "Delaware is 
lousy with  them," I begin to wonder if some important details were passed over 
in the  science of documentation?

In the  recent past, Heite Consulting, Inc. has documented the  
presence of  brick burial vaults (of various forms at one cemetery),  
and has  conducted emergency recovery of one burial in a vault damaged  
by a  backhoe. Reports on are file the the DE SHPO. I imagine others  
have  prepared reports on cemeteries in Delaware that would be at the  
SHPO  office for, as James Gibb noted, Delaware is lousy with them.
