The disciplines that involve working with human remains are indebted to editors Squires, Errickson, and Márquez-Grant for their efforts in bringing together this remarkable collection of papers on the ethical challenges of working with human remains. I predict that this book will be fundamental to the ongoing discussion of building a better, more productive, and more informed understanding of the ethical treatment of human remains. The subject matter pertains especially to ethics in bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology, two complementary fields unified by a common theme—ethical issues surrounding access to and study of the remains of once-living human beings. The editors and contributors make clear that while bioarchaeology focuses primarily on the analysis of human remains from archaeological settings, forensic anthropology is primarily engaged in medico legal issues relating to individual identification and death circumstances of the recently deceased. Both fields, however, focus on the identification and study of the remains of the dead. Moreover, the content of the book is not restricted to discussions of what scientists think and do during the identification process and analysis of human remains. Rather, the book presents multiple perspectives on the remarkable complexity of ethical and other issues concerning the treatment of human remains.
