Re: Mike Pitts: Issue of Reburial on Radio 3

Just listened to this - about 10 minutes long and 16 mins into the programme. For anyone who didn't already know this issue came about as a direct result of the repatriation of Australian Aboriginal/New Zealand Maori remains. The point was made that nationally other museums are now consulting within their communities about the issue retaining/reburying prehistoric (pagan)remains which are not being used for research. This approach is overtaking the Avebury museum issue.
I agree with the point that if consultation takes place regarding this, it should include all interested members of the community concerned and not just druids.

The discussion can be heard here - Nightwaves - Discussion about the reburial of the ancient dead
