Interdisziplinäre Provenienzforschung zu menschlichen Überresten aus kolonialen Kontexten: Eine methodische Arbeitshilfe des Deutschen Zentrums Kulturgutverluste, des Berliner Medizinhistorischen Museums der Charité und von ICOM Deutschland
Beiträge zur Museologie, Volume 11
The guidelines offer a practical introduction into provenance research on human remains from colonial contexts. Though focussed on German institutions, they also give a glance at the situation in Austria. They apply to collections of human remains kept in universities and museums, mostly in the fields of anthropology, anatomy and medical history. The interdisciplinary approach combines several research methods. The guidelines provide extensive guidance for historical, anthropological and natural sciences methods of provenance research. They also explain the cross-cultural and transnational dimensions of provenance research and discuss how to document the results of the research.
