Yes, I know; I didn't ask if they took them away.
I just asked if they took them.
By which I meant, "Did they directly examine soil samples that
they took out of the soil in the cemetery?"
They could well have left the samples within the boundaries of
the cemetery after sampling the soil in the cemetery.
I'm not suggesting that the investigators were grave-robbers.

Doesn't mean that they knew the pH of the soil in that cemetery.
Just means that they thought it wasn't the same as the pH somewhere
else.
Could have been done purely from inference, without any hard data
whatsoever.
Thus, my questions, which could be summed up by the coverall
question,
"Do they show that they know what they're talking about WRT soil in
that cemetery?".
