Description

Ethics in the field of archaeological research has become increasingly more complicated, particularly in response to the recent growth of contract archaeology. The past is not in fact 'dead and buried,' and ethical questions about this living record demand an ongoing discussion within the social and cultural groups who interpret this record. Authored largely by members of the Society for American Archaeology Ethics Committee, this up-to-date edited volume of original articles tackles issues such as the origins of and theory behind archaeological ethics, as well as archaeologists' responsibilities to the archaeological record, to diverse publics, to each other, and to their students. The book promises to fuel a critical debate among professionals and will be an important tool for training the next generation of archaeologists. Published in cooperation with the Society for American Archaeology. Published in cooperation with the Society for American Archaeology.

Media Reviews

[a] fine volume...Coverage of current and emergent topics is well conceived...Essential. -- S.R. Martin, Michigan Technological Un iversity * Choice Reviews *
This volume provides a valuable guidebook for both the uninitiated and veteran....an engaging read that forced me to confront some of my own ethical positions. It would be a valuable read for the professional and student alike. -- Jason D. Gillespie, Department of Anthropology, University of Alberta * Canadian Journal of Archaeology *
This volume is earnestly recommended because it significantly expands and deepens our understanding of archaeological ethics, even as it challenges professionals and students alike to contemplate the conduct and core values of the discipline. -- Chip Colwell-Chanthaphonh * Indigenous Nations Studies Journal *
Now that ethics have assumed a central role in archaeology, students, teachers, and practicing archaeologists, as well as those with an interest in and concern for the past, will find this book to be a valuable resource. * Journal of Field Archaeology *
This volumn is a closely edited, well-planned overview of archaeological ethics, written under the auspices of the Society for American Archaeology but including contributions from far beyond the USA. * Oxbow Book News *
