Provenance research and repatriation of ancestral remains

This workshop marks the conclusion of the interdisciplinary provenance research project "Human Remains from Colonial Contexts: Provenance Research in the Anthropological Collections of the University of Göttingen and MARKK Hamburg".

Four panels will present key aspects of the research:

  • Historical provenance and collection trajectories of specific ancestral remains from colonial contexts in Africa and Oceania;
  • Methodological approaches and challenges in bio-anthropological provenance research
  • Repatriation: current perspectives, processes, and challenges associated with the return of ancestral remains.
