  4. A while ago, I posted how I'd joined the Chief Coroner of Ontario to speak at the National Site Search Forum. Apparently they recorded a video, so if you'd like to learn more about who I am and what I do, have a look!

  5. Some days, I'm lucky enough to feel like I'm making a difference. Today was one of those days.

    Thank you to the organizers of the National Site Search Forum for inviting me to join the Chief Coroner of Ontario to speak about how we're trying to decolonize our work, treat Ancestors with the respect and dignity they deserve, and ensure Indigenous partners have a meaningful seat at the table when decisions about their Ancestors are made.

  8. University of Edinburgh: Native American remains return to mainland US in repatriation first. “More than 150 years after they were taken, the University has returned the skulls of six people from the Muscogee Nation during a formal ceremony in Edinburgh on Friday 23 January.

  9. "Woher stammen die Menschenknochen?"

    Viele #Schulen besitzen #Skelette und andere Organ-Präparate. - Aber, wo kommen die eigentlich her? Jeder dieser #HumanRemains gehörte einmal zu einem Menschen ... deren Geschichte meist nicht mehr zu rekonstruieren ist.

    Wie soll, wie kann man damit umgehen? Eine Schulklasse begibt sich auf die Suche nach Antworten:

  10. Pro tip: if you want to corner me to argue that it's not necessary to investigate the discovery of dozens of teeth found in the middle of a 15th-century Indigenous village because "it's just teeth," then you'd better be prepared to be schooled.

  14. 📰 "Ancestral remains should no longer be displayed in UK museums, say MPs"

    A parliamentary group has published a report called Laying Ancestors to Rest. It condemns the sale of human remains and their display.

    The report is mostly concerned with colonial crimes and wants law changes that allow national museums to repatriate remains they hold.

    How do we feel about this out there?

  16. CW: Human remains

    New commitment regarding handling #HumanRemains has led #Spanish #museums to remove skeletons and mummies from display, e.g. Guanche mummified remains in Madrid's National Archaeological Museum.

    (CN: News reporting unfortunately still choose to display them.)

  17. Die aktuelle Folge von Panorama (@NDR) über den Handel mit #HumanRemains heute bietet einen sehenswerten Einblick in ein sehr spezielles Erbe des #Kolonialismus. Die Verdrängungsleistung der interviewten deutschen und britischen "Sammler" und Händler ist schon bemerkenswert. Der Handel findet anscheinend ganz offen in Auktionshäusern und in großem Umfang auf Instagram statt.

  18. 10 #Oldest #Human #Skeletons in the World

    oldest.org/people/human-skelet

    While many #hominid or human #ancestor skeletons have been discovered that date back millions of years, the oldest modern human (#Homosapiens) skeletons are significantly more recent. Research suggests that Homo sapiens only appeared about 200,000 to 300,000 years ago. Some of the earliest #humanremains date back to this time, while the oldest nearly complete skeletons are only about 100,000 years old.

    Only going back 10 years today, to Hythe in Kent, where a certain church is considered a little out of the ordinary.

    There is a graveyard, and there are people buried in it, but there's an awful lot more who aren't, buried that is.

    If you want to see more from this fascinating place please let me know. 👻
