In the video above, they mentioned that there are two types of European burials around Todos los Santos. The first kind lines up North to South, the second lines up East to West. The hypothesis is that since the Dutch came and reoccupied the site after driving out the Spanish, the first kind of burials are Spanish, and the second kind are Dutch.

I hope they make this a protected area. It could turn to be a pretty cool tourist attraction, if racism under the veil of preserving a parking lot does not destroy it first.

Ruins? Are you sure they’re not still building it?
It’s a site that keeps on giving. They’ve just discovered the 21th remain at the site of Todos los Santos.
They are about to build the first column of a new information center for the Todos los Santos site, and they did some excavation before actual construction, and then they found this new burial.
