BURIAL SITE RECOVERY

  Len Augsberger writes: "The issue of grave robbery and the
  Central America is a tricky one.  Modern  thought seems to
  have no problem with "recovering" ancient burial sites such
  as the Egyptian pyramids.  More recently, the Titanic
  discovery elicited minimal outcry, while the Edmund Fitzgerald
  (lost in 1975) has evoked strong anti-exploration sentiment
  from surviving family members.  The "statue of limitations" on
  public sentiment relating to shipwreck recovery would seem
  to exist to the extent of perhaps 100 years."
