OK...the reason only the skull and crossbones were buried was because early christians reckoned that if you were going to be resurected after death you would need your head and your legs at least to guarentee a rebuild.

Nowadays all you need is a DNA sample....

That would be VERY early Christian, because reincarnation/resurection-for-the-masses was removed from Christanity by Rome around 500ce.
