Human Remains
The SAA recognizes that images of human remains and some funerary objects have the potential to be offensive and unsettling to some members of our community and those communities with whom we work. We ask that presenters please disclose at the beginning
of their presentations that they will show such images in an effort to create a more respectful environment for all. During the call for submissions, some organizers and presenters also checked a box indicating that their presentation(s) might include
images of human remains. Those sessions are:
