i got a fortress that has a serious problem: not that they were nearly all killed either by goblins or other dwarves, i now abandoned + reclaimed, but some items seem to have fallen out of the dwarves mind. i got some mined out microcline in a room i'd like to use, and clean up before use, but the dwarves ignore them. when i try to build a floor under them: "Item blocking site."
when i forbid all my other microcline and try to build a floor, no other microcline is found. there are not marked for dumping, neither forbidden. i dunno what to do. so far for the bug report, and now, to avoid a single question thread:
is there maybe an item related utility for DF that could probably remove those stones? would be nasty to dig through those tiles they occupy, since i might need the space underneath.

This is a longstanding and widely reported bug on reclaimed fortresses.  Here's the most recent thread about it, in which a few workarounds are discussed.

ooops 
well, thank you.

Most references to this bug hypothesize that the problem is with items that were scheduled for a job. I'm running into this same bug and I can say with much certainty that it's also other items.

I am 100% sure that no dwarf had a burial lined up when I abandoned. After reclaim, there are quite a number of dwarven corpses around that (after unforbidding) are completely ignored by the new inhabitants, and that don't rot away into bones.

those lying around corpses happened to me, too... pretty strange stuff. maybe it probably gets fixed in the next release, but for sure not on purpose
