Ethics, Epistemology and Multiple Consciousness: Some Considerations (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Rachel Watkins.

This paper centers the ethical epistemology (EE) of the New York African Burial ground - as well as the scholar-activist traditions that informed it - in this important session discussion on ethics. I argue that both are overlooked resources for conceptualizing and operationalizing an ethics of multiple consciousness such as the one that the organizers propose. The intellectual and political work associated with the EE of the New York African Burial Ground Project is discussed along with the...


Ethics, Positionality, and Pragmatism: Archaeological Approaches to Identity and the Role of Archaeological Practice in Conflict Transformation (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Audrey Horning.

The ‘ontological turn’ in archaeology encourages the decentering of the human subject, and the longstanding focus upon identity, in favour of exploring material relationalities. While the discipline may congratulate itself for finally finding a way out of the twin traps of Enlightenment dualism and the humanism which underpins neoliberal geopolitics, it runs the risk of becoming even less relevant to society at large at a time when global conflicts are widely understood through the lens of...


Ethics, professionalism, and qualifications in bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Marin Pilloud. Nicholas Passalacqua.

This is an abstract from the "The Future of Bioarchaeology in Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology both primarily deal with the analysis of human skeletal remains and employ similar methods for osteological analysis. However, over the past several decades, both subfields have become increasingly specialized with unique procedural and analytical goals. This divergence means that training in one...


Exhumation vs. Excavation: The Armenian Genocide and Our Ethical Responsibilities (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Colene Knaub. Nicole Jacobson. Kate Flor-Stagnato.

Records of human rights violations precede biblical times and have shown no signs of decelerating despite the contemporary measures taken to clearly define such atrocities. In the case of the Armenian Genocide, committed by the Ottoman Empire during WWI, the Young Turk government took great care as to restrict the publication of photographs and reports that would expose the widely condoned practice and to this day claim to have no responsibilty or knowledge of such occurrences. The physical...


Exploring the Ethics of Archaeological Site Prospection in Google Earth (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Daniel Thompson.

With the release of Google Earth for consumer use, archaeologists were an early professional group to begin exploiting this resource for identifying potential archaeological sites around the world. However, it seems as though the ability to detect sites using this powerful tool might have advanced faster than the ethical considerations of site detection, validation and protection that most countries require today. This paper will explore the history of site prospection via Google Earth and the...


"Fair Greece, Sad Relic:" Greek Archaeology at the Intersections of Power (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Grace Erny.

In this paper, I address the challenges faced by Classical archaeologists who wish to practice engaged archaeology in Greece. Two aspects of Classical archaeology’s disciplinary history are particularly important for understanding the relationship between Greek archaeology (as practiced by American archaeologists) and modern Greece: first, Greek archaeology’s early and close relationship with the ideology of Hellenism and, second, the ways in which archaeological work in Greece has intersected...

"First, Be Humble": Reflections on Larry Zimmerman’s Impact on IUPUI and Indianapolis (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jeremy Wilson. Elizabeth Kryder-Reid. Fiona McDonald. Paul Mullins.

Arriving in 2004, Larry Zimmerman made an immediate impact on our department, university, and the surrounding community, serving as one of the first public scholars of civic engagement at Indiana University-Purdue University, Indianapolis. In this talk we reflect on his influence on our research programs and students, the fostering of collaborations with the community and local organizations, and the establishment of our institution’s Native American Studies Program. Over 14 years, Larry...


Following the Storm: Ethical Considerations for Historic Cemetery Disruptions after Natural Disasters (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Christine Halling. Ryan Seidemann.

Louisiana is known for its historic and iconic cemeteries which feature above ground monuments, vaults, and tombs. However, equal numbers of cemeteries are in-ground, and are often lost or forgotten. Due to the accessibility of the above-ground cemeteries, these spaces make for easy targets of vandalism, are used for religious worship, impede construction efforts, and become impacted by natural disasters. The in-ground cemeteries are often encountered in urban development and during disaster...


For Whom Are We Searching? Issues and Ethics of Maroon Site Location in the Southeastern United States (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Tara Skipton. Jordan Davis.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The archaeology of maroon societies and marronage has provided crucial insight for broader studies of the African Diaspora around the world. However, few comparative approaches have addressed the southeastern United States, where marronage manifested across a multitude of environmental, historical, and sociopolitical contexts. In part, this is due to...

Fourth Annual SHA Ethics Bowl (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Ethics Bowl Committee.

Welcome to the SHA’s fourth annual Ethics Bowl! Sponsored by the APTC Student Subcommittee and aided by the Ethic Committee, this event is designed to challenge students in terrestrial and underwater archaeology with case studies relevant to ethical issues that they may encounter in their careers. Teams will be scored on clarity, depth, focus, and judgment in their responses. The bowl is intended to foster both good-natured competition between students from many different backgrounds and...


The Fragility of Sense: Language, Ethics, and Understanding in Deaf Nepal (WGF - Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowship) (2020)
DOCUMENT Full-Text E. Mara Green.

This resource is an application for the Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. My book, The Fragility of Sense: Language, Ethics, and Understanding in Deaf Nepal, draws on 23 months of fieldwork to explore what it means to live in a world where language cannot be taken for granted. In Nepal, roughly 5000 deaf persons - those involved in deaf schools and organizations - learn Nepali Sign Language (NSL). Most deaf persons, however, use "natural sign," an NSL term that...


Friends and Enemies: Heritage Ethnography in the Shadow of the State (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Annalisa Bolin.

Engaged archaeology and public anthropology depend on the goodwill, or at least tolerance, of numerous publics. This is frequently understood to mean local communities and nearby residents, but projects can live or die according to the will of groups less often discussed as part of the target public: authority structures such as permitting agencies or even national governments. How do such organizations figure into the "public" of public scholarship? What happens when research is pressured to...


From Margin to Center: Bias and Discrimination in Archaeology (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Lindsay Der. Thea De Armond. Anne Duray.

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. That archaeology is welcoming to only a narrow subset of society -- that is, cisgender, heterosexual, able-bodied, white men -- and far less so to most of us is an open secret. #MeToo stories; the blinding whiteness of the academy, the field, and the museum; and the prohibitive costs of many...


Gender Inequality in British Columbia’s Heritage Sector: Results from the British Columbia Association of Professional Archaeologist 2021 Wage Survey (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael Elvidge. Megan Harris. Jeff Wilson.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This study argues that gender equity in archaeology promotes an emotionally, financially, and intellectually supported workforce, which in turn, can strengthen the overall quality of commercial archaeology. In 2021, the British Columbia Association of Professional Archaeologists conducted a survey of heritage professionals to investigate remuneration in...


Gender-based Violence and Discrimination in Middle Eastern and North African Fieldwork (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Beth Alpert Nakhai.

In 2014, inspired by the work on gender-based violence in field settings done by anthropologists Clancy, Nelson, Rutherford, and Hinde, I began investigating field safety for archaeologists working in the Middle East and North Africa, the region in which I work. At that time, I was a trustee of the American Schools of Oriental Research – and I chair its Initiative on the Status of Women. I began by quantifying problems (Survey on Field Safety: Middle East, North Africa, and The Mediterranean...

Having It All in the Field: Families, Inclusivity, Career Development, and Archaeological Fieldwork (2019)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kate Kreindler.

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. Participation in archaeological fieldwork poses numerous practical challenges. This paper will address some difficulties that arise from the decision to start a family. The choice to have children frequently affects archaeologists working to establish their careers, namely (female)...


Heritage Values and Violent Pasts: A case study to evaluate resources to promote ethical treatment of the dead (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Heidi Bauer-Clapp.

Increasing interest in a heritage of violence and dark tourism raises new questions about social, political, ethical, or economic dimensions of heritage values. In this poster I present a case study of St. Helena to examine diverse interests in violent heritage, in this case the island’s little-known use as a refuge for captive Africans liberated from illegal slave vessels. I evaluate the efficacy of existing resources such as codes of ethics and heritage policies in balancing potentially...


The History of Archaeology: Looking to the Past to Unravel Sexual Harassment in the Present (2023)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Lauren Jablonski.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In archaeology, sexual harassment has become a defining part of our culture and affects many professionals across all subfields. This paper is a part of ongoing research that focuses on the history of archaeology as a way to understand sexual harassment in our culture, and to find ways to change this aspect of our culture moving forward. Our field, like...
