Grave goods are material things which people leave in grave sites, usually in the knowledge they will never be returned. The first part of the podcast discusses ancient grave goods in Scotland, which fall to be addressed under the law of treasure trove. We are joined by Mr Neil Curtis, Head of Museums and Special Collections, for this part of the podcast. The second part of the podcast discusses the practice of leaving grave goods in a contemporary context. Grave goods have an ambiguous status in law, especially when mistakes are made and need to be reversed. For this part of the podcast we are joined by Dr Jennifer Riley, who is currently studying grave goods as part of a Leverhulme research project. This podcast is moderated by Dr Jonathan Ainslie of the School of Law.Death & Law - Interdisciplinary Explorations | School of Law | The University of Aberdeen Biographies Mr Neil CurtisNeil Curtis is Head of Museums and Special Collections and Honorary Senior Lecturer in Social Science at the University of Aberdeen.
