Science: Archaeology society spars over publishing photos of Indigenous burial offerings

Science: Archaeology society spars over publishing photos of Indigenous burial offerings. “As editor-elect of the journal Southeastern Archaeology, Rob Beck helped choose a cover photo for the penultimate issue of 2020. It showed about 20 ceramic vessels, some painted with colorful patterns. They had been excavated in the early 1900s from the Crystal River Archaeological State Park in Florida, home to some of the region’s oldest ancient Indigenous earthworks. But Beck, an archaeologist at the University of Michigan, came to regret his choice.”
