Have a look at this... (also posted on other board)
The following message was sent to Contractors and Universities across the UK .. it told people about the major guidance documents now available... and a read reciept was requested.
Not many can say they did not know about these documents now.
The following message has been submitted to over 100 contractors and 117 educational institutions involved in archaeology. The purpose is to ensure that the widest audience has been reached for the documents pertaining to the treatment of human remains. I am aware that most of you will already have copies of the main guidance, but to ensure full coverage BAJR has sent everyone the same email.
The following 4 documents are now available on-line and regard the treatment, excavation, storage and recording of Human Remains.
to ensure that these guidelines have been fully disseminated, I have attached the links to these documents below.
If you are already using these guidelines please ignore, if you were not aware of them, please download for reference.
It would be interesting to know if you have had the opportunity to carry out work to these guidelines.
1) A Basic Overview for the Recovery of Human Remains from Sites Under Development

2) New guidelines for the treatment of human remains excavated from Christian burial grounds in England
