The question of ethics and their role in archaeology has stimulated
one of the discipline's liveliest debates. In this collection of
essays, first published in 2006, an international team of
archaeologists, anthropologists and philosophers explore the
ethical issues archaeology needs to address. Marrying the skills
and expertise of practitioners from different disciplines, the
collection produces interesting insights into many of the ethical
dilemmas facing archaeology today. Topics discussed include
relations with indigenous peoples; the professional standards and
responsibilities of researchers; the role of ethical codes; the
notion of value in archaeology; concepts of stewardship and
custodianship; the meaning and moral implications of 'heritage';
the question of who 'owns' the past or the interpretation of it;
the trade in antiquities; the repatriation of skeletal material;
and treatment of the dead. This important collection is essential
reading for all those working in the field of archaeology, be they
scholar or practitioner.
