Nah….they'll just say that the inscribed message stones are "markers of ritual beliefs" and that the placement at the empty grave represented "the completion of a pilgrimage to a place of high spiritual and cultural significance." They'll probably hypothesize that the "liminal location – between land and sea – represented a sacred place between the lands of the living and the lands of the dead."
