Human Remains - Conservation, Retrieval and Analysis - Proceedings of a Conference Held in Williamsburg, VA, Nov. 7-11th 1999 (Paperback)

34 papers by archaeologists, bioarchaeologists, conservators and physical anthropologists present different perspectives on issues concerned with the excavation of human remains. The papers, taken from a conference held in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1999, are divided into eight thematic sections: legal and ethical issues; excavation; associated materials; conservation; analysis; documentation; curation; public perceptions and exhibitions. Broad theoretical essays are combined with specific case studies drawn from across the world. These include the repatriation and reburial of remains in Australia and North America, specialist cooperation at excavations in Orkney and Central America, Hawaiian funerary practices, the analysis and presentation of Egyptian mummies, facial reconstruction and DNA analysis and an exhibition of London bodies' at the Museum of London.
