Archaeological Ethics
An excellent primer on the maze of complexities surrounding this issue. The book is a collection of articles culled fromArchaeology Magazinethat Vitelli put together after being frustrated by the lack of books that could be used in teaching classes on ethics.... Particularly useful is Vitelli's addition of a concise summary of each article and, especially, a series of questions at the end of each. (Journal Of Field Archaeology)These essays are short, grounded in engaging descriptions of concrete examples, accessible to a wide audience and highly topical. The great strength of the collection is the breadth of coverage it provides and the interconnections it brings into view, when its constituent essays are read together, between issues, dilemmas, and strategies of response that arise in diverse settings. (Public Archaeology Review)This small book belongs on the shelf of every archaeologist, and can serve as a basic resouce for anyone who teaches archaeology....Archaeological Ethicsis an important book. Buy it and read it. (Carol A. MorrowIllinois Archaeology)This book is an important volume, released at a time when archaeologists need to be talking about ethics. Vitelli and AltaMira Press have done a great service in making it available. An interesting and thought-provoking read for any archaeologist, it is a terrific resource for any instructor who wants to introduce ethics in the classroom. (Mark J. LynottAmerican Antiquity)
