  I must say Peter I too have a sense of disquiet with the objectification of human remains. I am all for archaeologists fumbling about in the earth, the better to understand and appreciate times long past and the display of some artefacts, but I see no reason why the human remains cannot be re-interred from whence they were dug. I have noticed that later, identifiably Christian, burials are treated with the respect that all the bones should have. With photography and 3D imaging there is no necessity for treating the remnants of once living breathing persons as grave goods. Personal items, such as the spear and the shield should go back with the body too.
  Rather than our becoming more respectful this violation is on the increase, as I have posted. With the desecration of sea-bed war graves.
