In answer to your query Chimp, the only criteria I can think of would be that the reburial of any human remains be precisely recorded so that if ever re-disturbed we would already know their provenance. Can't think of any other criteria that would be necessary? Troll has a valid point in that the Neo Pagans have in reality no direct link to the Pagans of the past (unlike the first Australians and Americans). I still wouldn't be personally be offended if Neo Pagans were allowed to bury pagan remains. I have often wondered if it is absolutely necessary to keep so many human remains boxed up and catalogued after they have been assessed and studied? I suppose they are a resource valuable to osteology?
