While books on archaeological and anthropological ethics have
proliferated in recent years, few attempt to move beyond a
conventional discourse on ethics to consider how a discussion of
the social and political implications of archaeological practice
might be conceptualized differently. The conceptual ideas about
ethics posited in this volume make it of interest to readers
outside of the discipline; in fact, to anyone interested in
contemporary debates around the possibilities and limitations of a
discourse on ethics. The authors in this volume set out to do three
things. The first is to track the historical development of a
discussion around ethics, in tandem with the development and
"disciplining" of archaeology. The second is to examine the
meanings, consequences and efficacies of a discourse on ethics in
contemporary worlds of practice in archaeology. The third is to
push beyond the language of ethics to consider other ways of
framing a set of concerns around rights, accountabilities and
meanings in relation to practitioners, descendent and affected
communities, sites, material cultures, the ancestors and so on.
