The ethics and deontology of the conservation-restoration of human remains in the United States is explored in this article. Most indigenous people venerate human remains. When considering care, treatment, storage, display, or research there are typically ideological intensions and ethics, cultural traditions of appropriateness, and legal regulations that must be considered. Conservators need to be responsive to legislative changes and to calls from descendant communities. Conservation has moved away from treatment to a responsive and collaborative role in research, analysis, or repatriation. This paper gives an introduction to propriety and impropriety of conservation related to NAGPRA. Cet article examine l’éthique et la déontologie de la conservation-restauration de restes humains aux États-Unis. La plupart des peuples indigènes vénèrent les restes humains. La conservation, la restauration, la présentation, le stockage, ainsi que l’analyse des restes humains soulèvent les questions éthiques de la finalité intellectuelle, du respect des traditions culturelles et du dispositif légal en vigueur. Les restaurateurs doivent rester attentifs à l’évolution du droit et aux demandes des populations concernées. Ils limitent désormais leurs interventions pour privilégier la collaboration éclairée dans la recherche, l’analyse ou le rapatriement. Cet article évoque aussi le cadre fixé par le NAGPRA, la loi fédérale sur la protection et le rapatriement des tombes d’Amérindiens.

En el extremo norte de Chile, como en el mundo andino prehispánico, el uso de la hoja de coca se inserta en ceremonias y actos sociales para estimular los lazos de solidaridad. El trabajo realizado con la hoja de coca de contextos funerarios, demuestra un uso ritual y cotidiano, indicando una posible producción local, o su introducción desde otras zonas. Las evidencias etnohistóricas para el siglo 16 mencionan cultivos de coca en Arica o sus altos, sin tener hasta ahora una noción clara del lugar geográfico específico donde se ubicaban los cocales. Desde el punto de vista botánico, las características biológicas de la planta, permitirían su desarrollo en los ambientes desérticos del norte de Chile, especialmente la variedad Erythroxylum novogranatense var. truxillense, conocida para ambientes xéricos de valles costeros. El objetivo central de este estudio fue pesquisar evidencias de coca en la región, junto con definir taxonómicamente el material vegetal que aparece en los contenedores (bolsas) de los ajuares funerarios. La metodología botánica consistió en un análisis de la vascularización de 107 hojas enteras y 4418 fragmentos foliares provenientes de 51 tumbas de 3 sitios arqueológicos ubicados en el valle de Azapa (AZ-140 y AZ-6) y en la costa de Arica (PLM-3), pertenecientes al período Intermedio Tardío (300 a.C al 1300 d.C). Específicamente, del análisis anatómico realizado, se pudo observar una clara heterogeneidad en el contenido vegetal de las bolsas (chuspa en quechua, soncos en aymara). La lectura del patrón de venación indica predominio del tipo broquidodromo, presente en las variedades de coca y, presencia eventual de hojas con tipo eucamptodromo y flabelado, que corresponden a géneros distintos de Erythroxylum. Se discute la presencia de hojas de helecho en una bolsa de sitio arqueológico costero (PLM-3) In northernmost Chile, as in the Andean precolumbian world, the use of the coca leaf is tied to Andean reciprocity and communal solidarity. The work we have done with the coca leaves found in funerary contexts demonstrates its ritual and daily consumption which suggests local coca leaf production as well as the introduction of coca leaves from other zones. Ethnohistoric evidence from the 16th century mentions coca cultivation in Arica and the nearby highlands, though geographic areas of cultivation are not specified. The biological characteristics of the coca plant would have allowed for the cultivation of coca in this area; one example is Erythroxylum novogranatense var. Truxillense, variety described as adapted to arid, coastal climates. The main objective of this study is to investigate evidence of coca in the region as well as to taxonomically define the organic material found in the containers (bags) of the funerary bundles. The botanical methodology consists in identifying leaf venation patterns of 107 whole leaves and 4418 plant fragments originating from 51 tombs found in three archaeological sites located in Azapa Valley (Az-140 and Az-6) and on the Arica coast (PLM-3). These tombs belong to the Late Intermediate Period (300 B.C. to 1300 A.D.). The results of the anatomic analysis show heterogeneity in the bag contents (chuspa in quechua and soncos in aymara). The venation pattern indicates a predominance of the brochidodromous type, identified in coca varieties. The presence of eucamptodromous and flabellate venation patterns suggests genera other than Erythroxylum. Some discussion remains concerning the presence of fern leaves in a bag from a coastal site (PLM-3)

Diversos investigadores han postulado la existencia en la prehistoria de sistemas sociales estratificados y multietnico en las areas costeras del norte de Chile. El presente estudio, utilizando los textiles de 436 momias de tres sitios (Az-140, Az-71 y Plm-9) en Arica, Chile, ha permitido una reevaluacion de la organizacion social y el desarrollo de una cronologia nueva. Los textiles asociados con las momias fueron analizados en cuanto a las caracteristicas de la lana, el tejido, las tintas, los embellecimientos de las superficies, la forma, la reparacion y el estilo. Tambien se calculo un puntaje de calidad para cada textil. Al contrario de las expectativas, los textiles, especialmente las camisas, indicaron que los individuos estudiados no eran etnicamente diversos, debido a que se encontro un surtido de estilos de camisas en los tres sitios y muchos individuos tenian una variedad de estilos. El estatus fue evaluado usando la calidad de textiles y las cantidades de bienes funerarios no textiles. Las diferencias de estatus fueron evidentes, pero no extremas, sugiriendo que existia el estatus adquirido, pero no el rango adscrito. Finalmente, a base de 32 fechas radiocarbonicas, parece que las culturas conocidas como Cabuza, Maitas, San Miguel, Loreto Viejo y Desarrollo Regional no eran sucesivas temporalmente, sino que representan estilos superpuestos del mismo grupo de gente en Arica entre 900-1400 DC

Little has been written about the roles of conservators in regard to the preservation of human remains. This article examines the new challenges that face conservators as we become more involved with human remains under the new laws and approaches that protect indigenous community rights. The authors explore three areas critical to this debate, namely conservation expertise, training and outreach. Three scenarios for the conservator's role are presented. The authors suggest conservators should aim for the third role, that of ‘contributing colleague’, especially in the multidisciplinary and highly sensitive area involving the study of human remains. Also presented is a case study involving teamwork with the Kennewick Man remains. Though the discussion is limited to applications of preservation issues to human remains, the concepts have wider applications in the conservation field in general.

A ndean tapestries are impressive for bold design, brilliant color, and exquisite craftsmanship. This immediate impression belies a vast body of information below the surface, data that might suggest material selection, production techniques, regional trade, cultural borrowing, innovation, workshops, artist's hand, and ultimately provenance. These data are important because most of the world's collections of Andean textiles contain minimal
