heres the latest official statement- mention of re burials in February before identifcation takes place. Temporary stones presumably and then the main ceremony in July 2010.

Good evening Steve, my Dear Friend,

the excavation site has been completely plugged and plowed, leaving only the buildings in which only scientists and cgwc staff are allowed to enter...

but you will see the construction of the new cemetery and also visit the museum.

I hope to meet you.

Très amicalement

Michel
