Seems to me that whilst there are good standards and guidence available on the excavation and curation of Human remains, two issues are obvious: time and time again, projects are undertaken without the prior consultation of a specialist-and, methodologies can and will be context/site specific.On my first point...prior consultation with a specialist where sites are expected to produce Human remains has to be fundamental.There is nothing better than previously agreed mitigation that is both explicit and informed.Any deviations in a "standardised" methodology in the field can then be adapted under a specialists guidence.It seems a bit of a nonsense to me when excavations are carried out without even the slightest notion that a specialist would be either useful or relevant.I hate to imagine the sheer volume of data lost as a result......:face-huh:
