Description

Following successful workshops at CIfA conferences, we are pleased to present the Ethics Workshop in a compact, online, form. This is for anyone and everyone interested in understanding and discussing ethical issues in professional archaeology  - at all levels of the profession and at all grades of membership.

These issues will be presented in a series of ethics case studies, developed from CIfA members’ real-life experiences. Participants will formulate and defend their reactions and solutions to these ethical quandaries using their knowledge of ethical guidelines and laws, as well as their personal research and experiences. This represents a valuable opportunity for participants to undertake Continuing Professional Development and it can help professional archaeologists to gain facility in setting and responding to hypothetical situations. We specifically seek archaeologists from all sectors of the profession (commercial practices, planning authorities and state agencies ) to generate a lively discussion of and ethical solutions to the case studies.
