Résumé
Cette étude de cas fictive décrit le contexte muséologique dans lequel les chercheurs en bioanthropologie doivent parfois travailler. Elle met en évidence les défis éthiques en lien avec la gestion des collections de squelettes humains, dont l’identification est encore possible avec des documents écrits anciens qui étaient « oubliés » mais ont été « retrouvés ».
