Declaration of Committee Name: Lia Tarle Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Thesis title: Exhibiting Respect: Investigating Ethical Practice for the Display of Human Remains in Museums Committee: Chair: Dana Lepofsky Professor, Archaeology George Nicholas Supervisor Professor, Archaeology Hugo Cardoso Committee Member Associate Professor, Archaeology Barbara Winter Examiner Director Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology Jack Lohman External Examiner Chief Executive Officer Royal BC Museum ii Ethics Statement iii Abstract Museums have long displayed human remains from archaeological and other contexts to educate the public about human health, spiritual beliefs, and customs, and to encourage reflection about death and dying. However, since the 1950s, repatriation movements and decolonizing dialogues have inspired global discussions about who has the right to retain and display human remains. Subsequent changes in attitude are now reflected in international ethical guidelines and accords that emphasize “respect” for human remains and for originating communities. Most museums will no longer display Indigenous Ancestors, but whether and how to display other human remains presents an unresolved ethical dilemma. Should other archaeological human remains be exhibited without consent? If so, how can they be displayed respectfully? Do visitors wish to see human remains in museums? This dissertation is a pilot study that examined three dimensions of these ethical challenges: 1) how has the display of human remains changed over time—particularly in Anglo-North America and Western Europe?; 2) how does the public in North America feel about the display of human remains?; and 3) how can human remains be displayed “with respect”? I focused on Anglo-North America and Western Europe as instrumental case studies to illuminate these emerging issues due to their accessibility, recent ethical dialogue, and changing museum practices in these regions. My research explored these questions using the principles of New Museology and radical transparency: i.e., proactively engaging the public and encouraging them to participate in ethical decision-making. In this work, I: 1) explore ethical changes and challenges for museums in relation to the display of human remains; 2) facilitate public engagement with ethical discourse about the display of human remains; 3) explore the concept of “respectful display” of human remains; and 4) make recommendations for museum professionals deciding whether to display of human remains. These issues are particularly important as museums strive to decolonize and become more inclusive. Keywords: Ethics; museums; human remains; archaeology; display; exhibition iv Dedication I dedicate this work to my parents: Nancy and Terry Tarle, and to my brother Josh—who have always been my biggest cheerleaders and support system in everything I do. Thank you. v Acknowledgements I first must thank my committee. I am forever grateful to Dr. George Nicholas for agreeing to supervise my Ph.D. His thoughtful mentorship improved the quality of my work and built my confidence as an independent researcher. I appreciate his academic support and advice, the research and work opportunities he provided me, his tireless dedication to his students, moral support, reminders to relax and take time off, and humorous emails. I am also grateful to Dr. Hugo Cardoso for his commitment to sound scientific research and for reminding me to consider my cultural perspective. My dissertation is stronger because of his feedback, and I enjoyed working with him. I am immensely thankful to my internal examiner and museum mentor Dr. Barbara Winter. She has been my biggest advocate in the museum world, and I greatly appreciate her advice and guidance, as well as the opportunities she has given me to build my skill set and network. She is an irreplaceable force to be reckoned with. I also thank my external examiner, Prof. Jack Lohman, whose work inspired me to pursue this research. I thoroughly enjoyed discussing these complex issues with him, and am grateful for his thoughtful feedback. My hosts Drs. Gwyneira Isaac and Sue Giles at the Smithonian’s National Museum of Natural History and Bristol Museum & Art Gallery, respectively, made this work possible. I am grateful for their encouragement, time, and efforts to facilitate my research. For their insights and other support, I thank Drs.

Beatty July 2015 Thesis submitted for the qualification of PhD Department of Archaeology National University of Ireland, Cork Head of Department: Professor William O’Brien Supervisor: Dr Barra O’Donnabhain ABSTRACT Title: Skin and Bone: The Face in the Archaeological Imagination Author: Katherine E. Beatty Keywords: facial reconstruction, bioarchaeology, the face, Emmanuel Levinas, Ireland, theoretical archaeology, archaeological imagination Thirteen unique archaeological countenances from Ireland were produced through the Manchester method of facial reconstruction. Their gaze prompts a space for a broad discourse regarding the face found within human and artefactual remains of Ireland. These faces are reminders of the human element which is at the core of the discipline of archaeology. These re-constructions create a voyeuristic relationship with the past. At once sating a curiosity about the past, facial re-constructions also provide a catharsis to our presently situated selves. As powerful visual documents, archaeological facial reconstructions illustrate re-presentations of the past as well as how the present can be connected to the past. Through engagment with Emmanuel Levinas’s (1906-1995) main philosophical themes, the presence of the face is examined in a diachronic structure.

Art. 4. 2017 Cemeterial Heritage: between materiality and spirit of place Reflection on the valorization and management of death as artistic heritage, sense of belonging and collective memory1 Andréa Michelle Diogo Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto This paper intends to question the Cemeterial Heritage as an artistic materialization and crystallization of a place of memory. To that end it focuses on issues related to its safeguard: on the one hand, it pursuits to detail the Cemeterial Heritage in regard to the practices and the legislation as a heritage asset; on the other hand, it evaluates to which length the adequacy of its management may or may not enhance its values, both material and immaterial, taking into account the fruition of the space and the conservation of its spirit of place. Keywords: Cemeteries; Cultural Heritage; Heritage Management; Place and Memory. Between materiality and spirit of place flow and the evanescence of all living forms" (Mumford, 1970: 433).

  • 9 the Role of the Bog in Ethnic Tourism
    BOGS OF IRELAND text 11/18/03 2:33 pm Page 53 9 THE ROLE OF THE BOG IN ETHNIC TOURISM. BOGS IN THE IRISH PSYCHE. You can take the man out of the bog but you can’t take the bog out of the man. We, the Irish, are bog people. The bog water runs in our veins. The bog represents our collective unconsciousness. The bog is a symbol of our Irishness. It awakens our ancient race memory of pain and suffering, poverty and famine when we were deprived of everything except the bog. This hurts us deeply and makes us uncomfortable and ashamed. To escape this shame we refer to the bog in derisory terms i.e. "He’s only a bogman". But, painful as the past has been, we cannot forget it. Neither do we want to forget it because our past is part of what we are. To the Irish, the bog is also a very beautiful and benign place. We associate quietness, stillness, reflection and otherness with the bog. The bog represents the mystery inside us. When we go there as children, we go with older people. It is the place where age barriers break down. Games are played, stories are told and songs are sung in spite of the back-breaking work. Grown men light fires and make tea, normally women’s work. The simple bread and butter tastes like heavenly food. We stay there all day and it is usually summer. There is a sense of being in migration. The place is physically beautiful.
