DESCRIPTION:Bioarchaeology studies animal and human bones from archaeologi
 cal sites and can be extremely advantageous when trying to understand past
  human populations and their lives. However\, the danger for archaeologist
 s\, especially when dealing with groups that they are not in community wit
 h\, is to atomize the process of investigation and not try to understand w
 hat the descendants of those groups may want for themselves. \n\nGiven tha
 t archaeology does have roots in colonial antiquarianism\, modern archaeol
 ogists must be very careful to observe the ethics around bioarchaeology an
 d to strive to be guided by the descendants of the groups or individuals t
 hey have received permission to study. Here I present the reasons why huma
 n remains are studied from an archaeological perspective\, but also open a
  conversation with an indigenous scholar\, Myesha Jemison\, about the wide
 r issues necessary to consider in this space.
