:Mamilla cemetery was one of the largest and most important Muslim cemeteries in Jerusalem. The plans to build a “Museum of Tolerance” in it led to heated protests and a prolonged legal procedure in Israel’s Supreme Court of Justice. In 2008, the court approved the plans and many hundreds of graves were exhumed. Through the available sources, including the court’s archival files, we discuss political, legal, and archaeological aspects of this case, focusing on ethics about cemeteries and descendant communities. The discussion shows that the Israel Antiquities Authority breached the court orders and that the treatment of the archaeological remains was biased. “Their” graves were destroyed, and the bones reburied in secret, while “our” remains in the same areas were carefully excavated and preserved. Tolerance to “our” heritage at the expense of “theirs” is intolerance.

骨骼考虑：耶路撒冷马米拉的考古学、遗产和伦理

:Mamilla 墓地是耶路撒冷最大和最重要的穆斯林墓地之一。在其中建造“宽容博物馆”的计划引发了激烈的抗议，并在以色列最高法院引发了旷日持久的法律程序。2008 年，法院批准了该计划，挖掘了数百座坟墓。通过可用的资源，包括法院的档案文件，我们讨论了这个案件的政治、法律和考古方面，重点是关于墓地和后代社区的伦理。讨论表明，以色列古物管理局违反了法院命令，对考古遗迹的处理存在偏见。“他们”的坟墓被摧毁，骨头被秘密重新埋葬，而“我们”的遗骸在同一地区被仔细挖掘和保存。
