A propos de cet article

Hardcover, x + 318 pages, NOT ex-library. Clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Boards show gentle cosmetic handling wear. Published without a dust jacket. -- The question of ethics and their role in archaeology has stimulated one of the discipline's liveliest debates. In this collection of essays an international team of archaeologists, anthropologists and philosophers explore the ethical issues archaeology needs to address. Marrying the skills and expertise of practitioners from different disciplines, the collection produces interesting insights into many of the ethical dilemmas facing archaeology today. Topics discussed include relations with indigenous peoples; the professional standards and responsibilities of researchers; the role of ethical codes; the notion of value in archaeology; concepts of stewardship and custodianship; the meaning and moral implications of 'heritage'; the question of who 'owns' the past or the interpretation of it; the trade in antiquities; the repatriation of skeletal material; and treatment of the dead. This important collection is essential reading for all those working in the field of archaeology, be they scholar or practitioner. -- Contents: 1 Introduction; Part I: Ownership of Cultural Objects: -- 2 Cultures and the Ownership of Archaeological Finds / James O.
