Accountability in Arctic Archaeology: A Continuing Conversation for Change (2021)
This is an abstract from the "Arctic Pasts: Dimensions of Change" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Within Arctic archaeology, we are encouraged by community-led and partnership projects to continuously rethink our research practices. These projects have demonstrated that change is possible, it can be done successfully, and it leads to rich holistic narratives of past lifeways. However, more attention needs to be given to how current practices...

First, we will provide a snapshot of the participation of...
Add to Cart? The Ethical Landscape of Buying Human Bone in the United States (2023)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This project examines the ethical landscape of the acquisition and curation of human skeletal materials for teaching purposes using the NCSU Human Skeletal Remains Collection as a case study. Lack of legislation in the United States regarding the sale of human remains, and an increase in social media, permits certain organizations and individuals to become...
Affording Archaeology: How the Cost of Field School Keeps Archaeology Exclusive (2019)
This is an abstract from the "What Have You Done For Us Lately?: Discrimination, Harassment, and Chilly Climate in Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In response to the contemporary critiques about discrimination and inequality within the archaeological academic community, many individuals and advocacy groups have suggested field school scholarships as one tactic in promoting diversity in the field. In this paper, we will explore the...

Ancient DNA Analyses of Dental Calculus from Plains Village Collections (2018)
More than a generation since the implementation of NAGPRA, many museums continue forward with the process of repatriation. This creates a unique opportunity for active and collaborative engagement of Native American communities in both the inception and implementation of scientific research. Biomolecular analyses of dental calculus can be an attractive research avenue because they address questions of mutual interest to tribes and scientists, and the sampling techniques are non-destructive to...
[Animal] Skeletons in the Closet: Decolonizing Comparative Faunal Collections (2025)
This is an abstract from the "Reckoning with Legacy Exhibits, Data, and Collections" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Northern Arizona University, Department of Anthropology, Faunal Analysis Laboratory (NAUDAFAL) prioritizes decolonizing zooarchaeology through our work. Despite this mission, the lab’s comparative collection is stored and organized in alignment with arbitrary Euro-Western epistemologies and lacks Indigenous perspectives for...

Applied Archaeological Ethics: Inclusive Pedagogical Practices (2023)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. As archaeologists, our ethical obligations include responsibly training future generations of practitioners. Oftentimes, we understand this responsibility as taking the form of training proper field methods, timely and complete reporting of data, and other aspects that deal specifically with the physical aspects of archaeology – artifacts, records, and...
Applying the Theory of Heart-Centered Archaeology to Issues of Exclusion in Archaeology (2025)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2025: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper will work to explore not only the basis and creation of the theory of Heart-Centered Archaeology, but the way that it can be used to overcome the various issues of exclusion in archaeology that persist to this day. It will be compared to other theoretical approaches and broken down into the merits and drawbacks of Archaeology of the Heart...
Arch Street Project: Sustainable Collaboration and Learning after Reburial Using Digitized Remains (2024)
This is an abstract from the "The Arch Street Project: Multidisciplinary Research of a Philadelphia Cemetery" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The highly collaborative nature of the Arch Street Project allowed for hands-on learning opportunities for university students. This was an especially valuable experience at universities that traditionally rely on replica human remains for teaching as it increased student access to taphonomic conditions,...
Archaeological and Digital Ethics as a Critical Component of Digital Literacy (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Capacity Building or Community Making? Training and Transitions in Digital Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. While digital literacy typically refers to one’s ability to utilize and navigate various digital platforms, recent literature demonstrates a need to broaden our framing beyond the development of practical skills to include understanding the impact of those technologies in contemporary society. This is...
Archaeologists as Indian Advocates? Lessons from Skinner, the Little-Weasel, and Moorehead, the Indian Commissioner (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Sins of Our Ancestors (and of Ourselves): Confronting Archaeological Legacies" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeologists who study the Native past have a responsibility to the Native present. But our academic training does little to prepare us for advocacy work. Personal interests, ethics, and the precariousness of employment often dictate what can be done. Doing nothing is easier and safer than speaking out, but...
Archaeology and Mainstream Media: Slippery Slope or Revolution Worth Stoking? (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Few would deny that in recent decades, methodological and theoretical revolutions have transformed the practice of historical archaeology. Through technological innovations and new intellectual avenues for interpreting the past, the ways and means by which historical archaeologists approach research and analysis have advanced tremendously in scope and sophistication. When it comes...

Archaeology and the End of Empire in Nigeria: Learning from the History of Late Colonial Archaeology at Ile-Ife (2019)
This is an abstract from the "African Archaeology throughout the Holocene" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. At the city of Ile-Ife (Nigeria) in 1953, three foreign archaeologists (Bernard Fagg, AJH Goodwin, and William Fagg), with the permission of the Oni of Ife, conducted several months of fieldwork in the old city. With the aim of uncovering evidence relating to Ile-Ife’s early industries (including exquisite brass and terracotta artworks), they...
Archaeology and the Green Power Initiative: Reconciling Large Renewable Energy Development Projects and the Protection of Cultural Resources (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The development of utility scale renewable energy projects is a necessity to curtail our environmental footprint. The utilization of solar and wind power sources to provide stable, affordable, and ethically sound alternatives to the resource extraction-based energy production practices of yesterday is quickly sweeping the American landscape. However, with...

The Archaeology of the People’s Century? (2013)
The 20th century has widely been portrayed in the British media as the people’s century. This paper will examine the part played by archaeologists in the formation of this idea which, in my opinion, not only fails to reflect many of the stresses within British society, but also underplays the value of significant areas of British heritage. The result is that large sections of the recent past are seen as something that is ‘best not talked about’ to the public (Faull, pers comm, 2011) and the...
Archaeology, Ethics and the Remembrance of Conflict on the Island of Ireland (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology on the Island of Ireland: New Perspectives" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Conflict characterises much of the history of early modern and modern Ireland, with sites associated with violence common on the landscape. The unresolved political legacies of these events, and by extension the potency of associated sites, translates into their differential treatment. Some locales are...

Are All Bones Equal? (2025)
This is an abstract from the "Animal Matters: Ethics in Zooarchaeology from Discovery to Display" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The ontological turn in the humanities has been challenging the traditional nature/culture dichotomy in perceiving humans as animals like any other, particularly within a perspectivist framework. This shift encourages us to consider humans and other-than-human animals as part of a unified multispecies world. But what...
