N2 - The last few decades have brought changes to bioarchaeology through the establishment of ethics codes, repatriation laws, and community-based, participatory research practices. However, ethical codes are often unfamiliar to researchers and the treatment of human remains continues to be unequal. Temporal or geographic contexts, among others, should not dictate the ethical standards employed by researchers. Based on previous advocacy efforts and international ethics policies, we suggest six levels of consideration for scientists intending to develop bioarchaeological research projects, using case studies to support the implementation of these steps.
