Been there, done that.

In Kosovo, Albanians have a habit of desecrating Serb graveyards wholesale.
Orthodox cultures have a really
big thing about the dead--unlike most other religions
Orthodoxy considers human beings to be composed of
both body and soul _both_ of which are essential parts
of human nature. Never developed the Bogomilist tendency to declare all
physical things evil or the body merely a shell for the soul. Anyway,
desecration of gravesites is guaranteed to mobilize that villiage to go burn
down a mosque or house or something. So lots of tiny little Serb churches
(frequent targets of Albanian firebombings) with their graveyards dating back
centuries are guarded by KFOR platoons.

I'm wondering what a KV "graveyard" would look like--or some other taboo
site about which they'd get especially upset when HM explorers come
tramping along.  If we assume they're semi-arboreal, they might use
flat-topped columns as markers for a safe zone, and obelisks with pointy
topics to mark sacred/taboo/dangerous areas.  Figure an "honor guard" or
caretaker family got abandoned and started living off the countryside a couple
years (or centuries) ago, but still stays in the area to keep an eye on
things....
