disentombed
Removed from grave
Disentombed means removed from a tomb or grave—literally exhumed, or figuratively brought back from obscurity or neglect.
A body may be disentombed for reburial or forensic examination.
Old manuscripts disentombed from archives see new scholarly attention: The letters, disentombed after a century, revealed the affair.
