You should be honoured, wish it had happened to me. The man that made the marks and his community are relying on you to save them from final oblivion.... :)
But i really don't want the honour. I'd be responsible for taking them out of their original context.

"But i really don't want the honour. I'd be responsible for taking them out of their original context".

But that's second guessing what will happen, without knowing for sure. Isn't your essential role just to report the situation to the designated decision makers?

From the couple of shots you've posted the stone doesn't look to be in its original ccontext at all. It also looks damaged. Moving it to his front garden or the wall of such doesn't seem like a half bad idea.
I haven't seen shots of the other stone - have you posted any?
