Memorial Space at Ground Zero Will Hold Unidentified Remains

he remains of more than a thousand people who died in the attack on the World Trade Center will be preserved in a memorial space built at ground zero, in the hope that science will advance to the point that they can be identified, according to city and state officials...

...Faced with the limitations of modern science, the medical examiner's office has adopted an approach similar to one relied on thousands of years ago. The remains are being slowly dried, and when they are free of moisture, they will be vacuum-sealed individually in white opaque pouches, Mr. Ribowsky said.
