Thanks as well Oxbeast. This one would've slipped me by, I've forwarded the link to a number of people.
I had a good old read through all the documents, the group's website and the other big pagan groups too for good measure. Option 3 stikes me as the only reasonable one. It was very instructive to read how engaged and positive the comments were from the public toward the display of human remains in the 1990? survey.
I don't like the DNA tack they are taking at all, was rantier about that yesterday.
Also, note that their survey only had 25 repondants and the very defensive tone taken - roughly paraphrased "some pagans refused to sign because they thought I was trying to start my own religion." That says it all really. Does anyone at EH have any further insight on what PF might have said because I have seen no evidence for their rushing in to support reburial, which is what one would expect if 90% of pagana are pro.
I get very cross when cliques try to hijack the common past (that includes archaeologists too sometimes, but that's another thread).
