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:
