The Duc d' Anville thing happened in the 1740s. Carmen Legge's idea of bodies covered with coconut fibres doesn't fit the early C14 dates of the fibres - decades earlier
So the question is does limestone CaCO3 have enough residual quick lime CaO in it to turn a "typhoid plague pit" into mush? And was the stone road built by the French military force to dump bodies in a hole...Thats a lot of bodies. Or was the Island a staging point for a future planned invasion so they built a road. Or was the road already there from other military in the 1600s. How many battles were fought for NS from 1600 to 1750? Discuss.

Interesting theory that Carmen has about the money pit. It makes a lot of sense.

I mean centuries earlier
We agree. Yet there are still unanswered questions and C-14 dates seem to be all over the place.

Lots of questions yet to be answered.
Lime is produced when limestone is subjected to extreme heat, changing calcium carbonate to calcium oxide ...
