As archaeologists we can certainly learn a lot from other cultures about the treatment of Human remains (regardless of whether they are Christian or not)excavated on sites. Too often bodies are only partially lifted leaving part in the ground because its in the section!unless it has been truncated in the past the whole should be lifted,and once recorded reburied.That we don't do so-does this mean people elsewhere on Earth have more respect for the dead than we do?
