>What category would these objects fall under? Mr. Lewis and any others with the same question: The opinion expressed was personal, not legal. My advice, which was that the poster of the original question seek qualified legal advice and read the law and related regulations, was good and stands. I also think you'd be better off to ask the question of the folks at the NPS who wrote the regulations for an interpretation, than to throw it out to Museum-L where there's obviously quite varied opinion. If you work in a museum in the USA, have responsibility for collections, and don't understand the federal law referred to as the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), you should make some effort to do so.
