"Museums are not stages for loyalty. They are civic laboratories. They are places where we wrestle with contradictions, encounter the unfamiliar and widen our circle of empathy."

There’s no reason to utilise human remains in archaeology content creation, tbh.

Especially in content where you’re very much centring yourself and your reactions to human remains.

I don’t think the dead need to be turned into objects of emotional resonance to get your point across, tbh.
