  • Beschreibung: [T]here is something inherently distasteful and unseemly in secreting either the fruits or seeds of scientific endeavors. Judge Bruce S. Jenkins (quoted in Palca 1991:884) Destruction of archaeological collections through the demands for reburial presents a serious conflict between religion and science. Archaeologists should not deal with these matters by "compromise" alone, but must sustain their rights and duties as scholars.
