A Crisis of Unpublished Cities: An Epoch of Incredulous Belief (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Hanna Marie Pageau.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Urban Preservation Challenges in a Global Perspective", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Urban Archaeology is often treated as something that is either people explicitly studying the urban or as the result of inevitable 'grey' archaeology that happens through mandated CRM. It is often treated very differently than the rest of archaeology - this is seen in no better way than in the approach to the (lack of)...

Dealing With Museums (1993)

Developing More Holistic Approaches to Cultural Resource Inventories: Results from a Salvage Survey on the Umatilla National Forest, Southeast Washington (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only William Marquardt. Meghan Campbell Caves. Autumn Myerscough. Tim Lewis.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Most heritage surveys conducted by Federal agencies in compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) focus exclusively on archaeological resources. This approach has resulted in the effective documentation and preservation of archaeological sites but has led to gaps in our understanding of a wide variety of cultural resources. For the last...

Difference Theory and the Relevance of the Archaeological Past to the Present (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rachael Lane.

The relevance of the archaeological past to the present is not usually considered an ethical, or moral issue, except in the context of western heritage and conservation values. There appears to be both internal conditions to archaeology, as well as external conditions, that prevent the relevance and use of archaeological knowledge. The notion of relevance is frequently embedded in presentist discourses in the humanities and social sciences with an emphasis on sociality, and social recursive...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Thea De Armond.

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...

Dungeons, Dragons, and Conquest: Using Fantasy to Address Topics of Colonialism, Archaeology, and the Destruction of Indigenous Culture (2019)

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.

De aquí que, la...

Empirical honesty and the ethical role of archaeologists in divided societies (2015)

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...

Equity, Access, and the Privilege of “Best Practice” in Archaeological Fieldwork (2023)

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...

An Ethical Anthropology – What This Cultural Anthropologist Learned from Larry Zimmerman (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kelly Branam Macauley.

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...

Ethical issues of bioarchaeology in Southeast Asia (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sian Halcrow. Kate Domett. Jennifer Newton. Thanik Lertcharnrit. Louise Shewan.

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...

Ethics and Collecting: A Question (2001)

DOCUMENT Citation Only David Wescott.

Ethics and In-situ Science (2015)

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...
