That's what I was thinking, too. They knew they were digging on a cemetery site, and a very old one at that. Now they're acting baffled that they found some old graves from the 1800s. Not too bright considering the history of the area was known.
Gotta love progress..the high school and it's pool were built knowing it was a cemetery beforehand. It's not like they were in unmarked graves that they just happened upon. They did that here in Buffalo years ago when they were building the expressway right through a cemetery. I wondered if they actually moved them all, or just the headstones.
Many years ago in Dallas while building an on ramp, an old cemetery was discovered. What they thought were nine graves went up to five hundered. Talk about delays! Three years later, work on the project was resumed.
