Sue you hit the Archaelogist, I mean the Nail right on the head. That's where they need to be tapped a little. Everyone but them know the stones can be repaired. Not to new shape but nice. And if they have been buried then they are in better shape then those above ground. Even a college Grad. knows that. (I thought) Jack

Actually, this archaeologist has impressed me as being "top of the line" and very good about his intentions. The mention in the newspaper about him saying they were not fixable must have come through the developer, as I had never heard that before reading it there myself. I have emailed him and inquired about seeing the stones, as I haven't seen the 2 best ones but I acknowledged the awkward position he might feel he is in at this moment since everything has been put on hold for the time being. I have also spoken with Richard Powell at IU and he is interested in seeing the stones. He is looking for whetstone and in particular the works of a stone carver named Cross. This is not his, as Barkalow is the name on it, but he is interested in anyone who comes across what he is looking for, so some of you might want to give him a call. I am not trying to hold up a subdivision nor deny them the lots adjacent to it, but I do believe if there is an opportunity to get a clear title for the cemetery itself, rather than a piece of ground that is lost and unclaimed, it should be done.
