Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The paper discusses some of the complex ways in which living people have a stake in human remains, considering particularly the ideas of respect and empathy, and noting the ways in which the treatment of human remains may have changed significantly since they were originally collected. There follows a consideration of museums and archaeology as containing sacred practices, and a way suggested of viewing material that recognises its sacred quality. The potential social value of displaying human remains is also explored. Finally it is suggested that the debate about the treatment of human remains by archaeologists and in museums is an opportunity to engage with a profound interest in a way that could lead to a more considered interest in the material world. | ||||||
