I heard that it was mandated before they even started the excavation that any remains would be reburied locally, and if they found Dick3 he'd go into the cathedral.
I think that ties in with the current legislation about human remains that are excavated by archaeologists, and how quickly they have to be reinterred...

I haven't kept up to date in detail but I think the archaeologists got the Ministry to go easy on the time limits. It's an interesting issue - if they're allowed to keep the Stonehenge remains for years, why not him?
