This paper explores the application of quick, simple and low-cost procedures for data collection in commercial-driven 'salvage' archaeology. In large-scale cemetery contexts, the collection of a meaningful data set is often under extreme time and cost constraints. This requires the application of tailored field techniques and interdisciplinary collaboration between archaeologists, anthropologists and developers in order to maximise results. The authors examine procedures recently utilised to document and preserve skeletal data in three post-mediaeval cemeteries in Prague, and evaluate their efficacy.

“…This contrasts sharply with what has been the history of amassing skeletal reference collections in North America, South Africa, the UK and even northern Europe. To the Anglophone biological anthropology audience, the social history behind the development of many of the anatomy-and, more recently, donation-based collections is fairly well-known and their background has been carefully examined (Hunt and Albanese 2005;Christensen 2006;Kern 2006;Shirley et al 2011;Watkins and Muller 2015;Weiss 2015;Muller et al 2017). In addition, a comprehensive ethical framework for the use of these anatomy-or donation-derived collections has been developing and debated for some time (Christensen 2006;Edgar and Rautman 2014;Holland 2015;Weiss 2015).…”

A good understanding of the differences between anatomy-/donated-and cemetery-derived collections will help researchers and other stakeholders to make more informed choices about research potential and limitations, and regarding how to address management issues and ethical dilemmas.…”

An Ethical, Cultural and Historical Background for Cemetery-Based Human Skeletal Reference Collections

OPEN ACCESS-PAID-CC BY-NC-ND In historically Protestant countries, human skeletal reference collections curated by research institutions have been amassed from bodies dissected by anatomists, typically unclaimed cadavers from morgues and hospitals, or from remains donated to science. In contrast to these anatomy-based and donation-based collections, skeletal reference collections in historically Roman Catholic countries on mainland Europe and in Latin America are for the most part derived from unclaimed remains exhumed from modern cemeteries and ossuaries at the end of the mandated interment period. While much has been written in English about the history, context and ethical framework of anatomy-derived collections, cemetery-based collections have received very little critical attention. The current paper addresses this gap, with particular reference to cemetery-derived collections in Portugal. The cultural and historical context of southern Europe is discussed, particularly Roman Catholic mortuary traditions and the influence of the Napoleonic Code, and these provide the background for an overview of the ethical issues raised by cemetery-derived collections. Here, general principles that should guide the work of human osteologists working in archaeological contexts are relevant, as regards consent, dignity and respect and benefits to science and education, because unlike their anatomy-derived counterparts, cemetery-based collections include individuals who were once buried.

V příspěvku je na základě publikovaných archeologických lokalit provedeno hodnocení stavu a perspektiv bádání především raně novověkého a novověkého pohřebního ritu na území Čech (od konce 15. století do roku 1800). Autoři textu zároveň reagují na stále se zvyšující odbornou poptávku po mezioborové spolupráci v dané problematice a naznačují nové možné směry výzkumu. Nedílnou součástí studie je i soupis příslušné publikované literatury vydané v Čechách po roce 2000.
