Oldgirl - Equality in Law and equality in ethics of place, yes.
Do you fear that reburial will take precedent over musologists et al? Such fear is unfounded. The argument does indeed lean equally both ways, but up to now, the ancestors haven?t had a say.
Our ancestral remains belong in the earth and not on display (or on any butchers block) and are not present simply to remind you that real people live and die. It may be argued that current environmental disaster has its roots in sedentary living - but that's another discussion for another day I guess, and we don?t really need to face the body naked to understand ourselves. Reburial does not seek to re-invent a past (unlike much processual interpretation) rather, spirituality express a present. O the odd
Got a new-ish engine, but now need a crane, scrap merchant and Brutish Waterways off me back
