I agree it is a 'no nonsense' decision and firmly addresses the precedent that making concessions in the Avebury museum case would have set. I think that in future excavations where burials are concerned archaeologists should be less quick to remove the 'ancient dead' from their resting place and take only a small section of bone for radio carbon dating. This is just a personal view and when you consider the millions of dead bodies that have found their way into the soil over millennia, does it really matter?
