Dr. David Grundwahl of Iowa State might be able to help you on Jewish 
Cemetaries that had to be moved in urban areas of the midwest for the 
various interstate highway projects in the 1960's.  WRI reported on CSF 
remote sensing (archeogeophysical) studies of a Jewish cemetary at Virginia 
City, Nevada.  The US Army Corps of Engineers and other DOD personnel 
recently excavated burials at Ft. Craig New Mexico and MAY in the future 
report on them. There are probably other examples that can be found in 
NADAG.
