Description Discusses the motivations for collecting human skeletal material ranging from the practical (in anthropology, medicine, forensics) to the ritualistic (phrenology, in the relics of martyrs and saints), and the collections they have brought about--catacombs, ossuaries, mass graves, prehistoric excavations, private collections, and institutions.
