The GSU Collective

In the Archaeology class today, we were asked to make up our own list of ethics we think archaeologists should follow when conducting fieldwork. Here's what we came up with:


  1. Maintain a reflexive research protocol.

  1. Foster collaboration, multi-vocality, and partnerships with local communities.


  1. Consider the consequences, including unintended consequences, of practicing and publishing research.

  1. Promote integrity by maintaining responsible and honest research practices, including obtaining consent from all affected parties (i.e., community members, local governments, etc.).


  1. Make results available to local communities.

  1. Understand the contemporary relevance and historical context of archaeological research for living communities.


  1. Foster educational outreach locally and extra-locally.

  1. Avoid the commercialization of research.
