Archaeological Ethics

Buy Now
Looting. Reburial and repatriation. Relations with native peoples. Professional conduct.

The second edition of Archaeological Ethics is an invitation to an ongoing and lively discussion on ethics. In addition to topics such as looting, reburial and repatriation, relations with native peoples, and professional conduct, the authors have responded to current events and news stories. Twenty-one new articles expand this ongoing discussion into the realm of intellectual property, public outreach, archaeotourism, academic freedom, archaeological concerns in times of war, and conflicting values.

These compelling articles, from Archaeology Magazine, American Archaeology, and Expedition are written for a general audience and provide a fascinating introduction to the issues faced every day in archaeological practice. The article summaries, discussion and research questions, and suggestions for further reading - particularly helpful given the vast increase in related literature over the last decade - serve as excellent teaching aids and make this volume ideal for classroom use.


Co-edited with K.D. Vitelli. AltaMira Press (2006)
Archaeological Ethics is a central text for our discipline and represents our global engagement with archaeology's many, diverse stakeholders.

- Lynn Meskell, Stanford University


The second edition of Archaeological Ethics is as enthralling, timely, and effective for teaching purposes as was the first. ... While perhaps intended for archaeologists, this book provides an invaluable resource for all those who study and teach the history and peoples of the past.
