description In Chile, Bioanthropological remains – human bodies – are immersed in a delicate legal, economic, political, and ethical conundrum. Various legal entities protect national cultural heritage susceptible of being harmed by extractive projects. However, there are a large number of archaeological excavations, legal entities are ineffective, there is a lack of general ethical guidelines for protecting human remains, and the administrations of local museums are precarious. This has led to an imminent collapse of institutions that house bioanthropological remains. This situation, which we call a "museum storage crisis," is discussed based on our experience at the Museo Histórico Arqueológico de Quillota. Toward a more integral management of protected collections of human bones in Chile, we advance the premise that all bioanthropological remains are human beings, and consequently, must be treated ethically.
