Abstract
Museums that keep human remains must conform to a set of regulations and professional recommendations for their safekeeping. The icom (International Council of Museums) Code of Ethics identifies these pieces as sensitive cultural materials and has a number of related guidelines. This will form the premise of this work, which aims to present the procedures that are being adopted to legally and technically condition the human skeletal remains of seven individuals that are located in the Museo Etnografico Municipal Damaso Arce (meda, for its initials in Spanish) of Olavarria, in Argentina. Currently this museum is not open to the public and its archaeological collections are stored in a municipal warehouse.
