NAGPRA is not "my" issue, so usual disclaimers apply even more than usual
in this case.

Having said which, NAGPRA is meant to set up a consultative process in
which emotional issues can be dealt with calmly.  Whether or not a
particular kind of object positively falls under one of the
classifications may ultimately be less important than how all concerned
parties feel about it.

There's a lot more to say on this but I have to run.
