In my experience skellies always get trashed if you rebury them - or, in at least one case I know of, machined-off by the next unit to play on the site who hadn't read the previous lot's eval report properly. Once exposed it's better for the actual remains to be lifted, ignoring the legal/moral/ethical minefield. After all, the trenching has already compromised their context? On the uni training excav I had inflicted on me in my youth I had a merry afternoon dispatched with a hacksaw to saw them all off flush with the sections... :0 [the rest got recovered as part of the next season though]
