If we as a field cannot stand together to reject the use of our work as part of a genocidal complex, if we cannot stand up against our colleagues who are directly complicit or at the very least trying to whitewash the reputations of their complicit institutions, then our field has learned nothing.

La profanación de tumbas y robo de restos óseos humanos del Cementerio General ha causado gran revuelo. Sin embargo, esto ocurre a diario en los cementerios prehispánicos del norte de Chile. Hemos encontrado esqueletos junto a papel higiénico, fecas, latas de cerveza, mascarillas, botellas con orina
