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. Training is a favored weapon in the arsenal of those attempting to combat workplace harassment. Every year, university employees across the United States numbly click through sexual harassment training modules; after the March 2018 resignation of Forest Service Chief Tony Tooke due to...

This is an abstract from the "From Tomb Raider to Indiana Jones: Pitfalls and Potential Promise of Archaeology in Pop Culture" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In this research experiment, I use the tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons to examine topics of colonialism, archaeology, and destruction of indigenous culture. Basing aspects of my fictional fantasy game on these real-world historical and modern-day issues, I plan to place my...

This is an abstract from the "La Práctica Arqueológica en México en Tiempos de Crisis: Escenarios, Problemáticas Claves, Actores, Acciones y Propuestas" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. En esta presentación realzamos la importancia que tienen los sitios arqueológicos de menor tamaño que yacen en ruinas, que por la falta del recurso y políticas del sector público representan un nicho de inversión para la iniciativa privada. De aquí que, la...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Audrey Horning.

Negotiating the politics of the present while staying true to the evidence of the past is the central challenge of responsible, ethically-engaged archaeological practice: the line between the archaeologist and the citizen is never clear cut. Questions of moral obligation and the imperative to respect multiple perspectives are of particular resonance when dealing with contested histories in conflict-ridden and post-conflict societies. Archaeology in these contexts carries risks, but also the...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jessica Thompson. Benjamin Davies.

This is an abstract from the "Developing Paleolithic Excavation Methods for the Twenty-First Century" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Technological advances in digital imagery, field recording, and mapping have transformed the ability of archaeologists to rapidly collect, store, and analyze large quantities of high-resolution field data. In spite of steadily lowering prices and broader consumer accessibility over the years, the costs associated...

From American Indian representations in film, to working with descendent communities and sacred sites, to understanding families experiencing homelessness, Larry Zimmerman’s scholarship, guidance, and way of being an anthropologist has greatly influenced the intellectual and professional development of many cultural anthropologists. It is an ethical anthropology that transcends any one subfield of anthropology, which includes owning one’s disciplinary history and identity, learning from it and...

This is an abstract from the "The Future of Bioarchaeology in Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Since the 1990s, there has been an increase in bioarchaeological research in many parts of Southeast Asia conducted by both locals and non-locals. Southeast Asian countries are characterised by varied social, cultural, and political histories, but there are also some broad similarities in terms of poor economic development that limits much...

Why do people collect artifacts? This paper summarizes the results of twenty interviews with artifact collectors and tribal members regarding the non-professional collection of artifacts of American Indian heritage in Montana. The results of this research are relevant to the current debates regarding the ethical considerations surrounding collaborations among professional archaeologists and artifact collectors. In particular, this research highlights divergent perspectives regarding the meaning...

Principle 6 of the Society of American Archaeology’s Principles of Archaeological Ethics emphasizes archaeologists’ responsibility to publically report archaeological investigations with the stipulation that "An interest in preserving and protecting in situ archaeological sites must be taken in to account when publishing and distributing information about their nature and location." This paper first provides a critical review of current geolocation sharing recommendations and practices, and then...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Mark Horton.

The process of archaeological excavation is in itself destructive and excavators can and do cause irreparable damage and the demolition of site context. Archaeological ethics reacts to protect artefacts and sites that are in danger of destruction or loss. The desire to protect cultural heritage causes many ethical theorists to suggest that artefacts must not be recovered at all from their contexts. However to allow the find to remain in the ground opens it up to theft, destruction and loss just...

In 2001, California passed SB 297, which mandated that coroners "shall collect samples for DNA testing from the remains of all unidentified persons and shall send those samples to the Department of Justice for DNA testing and inclusion in the DNA data bank." This legislation, which was largely unfunded by the state, expanded existing DNA testing programs to include remains from cold cases that were being stored by state agencies and remains that had been interred in cemeteries throughout the...

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Is it the responsibility of the archaeologist to explain ethical issues of working in a historic cemetery to those who contract them? Should the focus of the project shift to strictly above ground survey and beautification to commemorate those lives buried there? Is it better to leave the headstones, lost to time, underground until a solid plan is set in place for the revitalization...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) is 30 years old, and the generation that opposed its passage is now approaching (or past) retirement age. For professionals that succeed them, repatriation has always been both legal and ethical practice and they must confront legacies of mentors/predecessors who found ways to avoid the...
