No, I decorate with them. One was found behind a wall in a rehab my husband was doing. I get my bottles from digging on building projects.

Just like Ira Einhorn. He put the dead body in a trunk. :) My husband did find a skull and bones once. Maybe a relative of your friend in the newspaper. ;D

We found an underground oven or kitchen. Sitting there were two pristine jugs and some other items. ;D That where he found the bones. He covered it up like he found it. They could have stopped the project. My daughter lives near the river in a property we own. They have been extending the road and building a bike path. The job got stopped because of archeologist that are digging. They found many items. They are researching some kind of log wall that was built in the beginnings of Philadelphia. This was to keep the river waters from coming over the banks. The museum told me this when I went to pick up my graffiti mug.

Um... I have to add, I would definitely have stopped the project. In fact I have to say I think reporting it now would still be a good idea. I hate to say it, but you just posted about covering up a dead body (however old) on the Internet and I believe this is going to obligate you to act upon it. You never know if that could be a modern missing person, and you would not want to be an accessory to a cover up. If it's a burial from another century, it would be more respectful to the deceased to allow them a reburial in a cemetery, especially if this was a 19th century murder victim and the archaeologists should be allowed to do their job. Sorry GA.
