Obviously there are no caretakers or owners of the property, but I would view such a site as more of an archaeological search similar to preserving artifacts from the pyramids than anything else. Of course little would be disturbed other than near surface finds. But I worry that before long like several other abandoned cemeteries in my area they will be developed over and have a mall parking lot over them.
