well, cutting and pasting presents this, my post from the 'archaeology in the news' thread, hope that's provocative enough for you:

And with all due respect to you weegie-how can it be enough when the debate is still ongoing?
Human remains are human remains at the end of the day and ALL should be treated with respect regardless of creed/colour/religion etc.
a logically untenable position. what about people who will their bodies for medical research? do they, at the moment of death, suddenly become your sacred 'human remains' and so out of reach of those godless medical students? donated organs? "sorry, i know you've only got a week to live, and we did have a new liver, a perfect tissue match, but it's been re-classified as Human Remains, so we've got to respectfully chuck it into a hole in the ground. hope that's some comfort to you and your family over the next few days...."
remains, Dirty Dave, are remains, bones are bones.
with the greatest respect, get a grip.
the one line competition in pubescence seems to be sidetracked on the 'sexy archaeology' thread.
