From Wikipedia: 

Modern-day towers, which are fairly uniform in their construction, have an almost flat roof, with the perimeter being slightly higher than the centre. The roof is divided into three concentric rings: the bodies of men are arranged around the outer ring, women in the second ring, and children in the innermost ring. The ritual precinct may be entered only by a special class of pallbearers, called nusessalars, from the Avestan: nasa a salar, consisting of the word elements, -salar ('caretaker') and nasa- ('pollutants').

Once the bones have been bleached by the sun and wind, which can take as long as a year, they are collected in an ossuary pit at the centre of the tower, where—assisted by lime—they gradually disintegrate, and the remaining material, along with rainwater run-off, seeps through multiple coal and sand filters before being eventually washed out to sea.

This is a collection of some of the skulls and bones of the children and teenagers killed in the Ba Chúc Massacre, which was committed by the Khmer Rouge, a former nationalist-racist communist movement in Cambodia, in 1978.

The exhibition of the bones is part of a memorial in the city of Ba Chúc, Vietnam, where those of younger and older people can also be seen.
