So that would mean the remains of a person buried in 1959 would be classed as archaeology?
Have i got that right? (seems awfully recent) :-S
I wonder how the number of years is decided upon? I would have thought it would be something decided upon by how likely it was that there would be direct relatives still surviving, but if i have understood this correctly, that doesn't seem the likely reason.
Sorry, i might be asking really obvious questions but it's a hole in my knowledge and i want to fill it
