Ethics in Archaeological Practice explores urgent topics and issues in archaeology as currently practised in the classroom, the field, the museum and the public sphere. While addressed primarily to archaeologists working in western Asia, the eastern Mediterranean and North Africa, the volume raises contemporary ethical questions around race, gender, disability, climate change and cultural heritage that are pressing and relevant to archaeology students and professionals worldwide.

The fifteen contributors offer fundamental case studies and practical guidance for best practices and models of high standards of ethical practice in professional conduct. Together, they offer new approaches to advocacy and the responsible stewardship of heritage sites, collections, and the environment.

These compelling and generative discussions make the case for a 21st century archaeology that is proactive and engaged with discourses addressing equity, social justice, anti-colonialism and climate change.
