This volume addresses the directions that studies of
archaeological human remains have taken in a number of different
countries, where attitudes range from widespread support to
prohibition. Overlooked in many previous publications, this
diversity in attitudes is examined through a variety of lenses,
including academic origins, national identities, supporting
institutions, archaeological context and globalization. The volume
situates this diversity of attitudes by examining past and current
tendencies in studies of archaeologically-retrieved human remains
across a range of geopolitical settings. In a context where
methodological approaches have been increasingly standardized in
recent decades, the volume poses the question if this
standardization has led to a convergence in approaches to
archaeological human remains or if significant differences remain
between practitioners in different countries. The volume also
explores the future trajectories of the study of skeletal remains
in the different jurisdictions under scrutiny. "
