  • Summary

    One aspect that most museums and claimants would agree on is that it is important that only remains associated with the claimant community are considered for return. This highlights the importance of proper provenance of remains, which is examined in this chapter. The chapter looks at the problems inherent in provenancing remains and how these problems may be overcome. It also describes the approach taken in several major institutions in different countries to provenance and how a consensus view is beginning to emerge.
