rediscovered?[edit]

The article said "The graves were rediscovered ..." I checked the sources cited and failed to find that they were rediscovered. (I was willing to add info about when they were discovered for the first time). So I changed the verb to "uncovered" for now. @Jengod: Can someone double-check this? - Altenmann >talk 20:56, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Altenmann I used the verb rediscovered to mean "found after being lost" -- they were known to the people who used the graveyard but got forgotten and eventually built over. it was a totally bad choice of words tho--I didn't mean to suggest they'd been archaeological discovered twice. My bad. Thank v much for the correction/edit. jengod (talk)| jengod (talk) 21:07, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
