Vitelli, Karen D. (editor). ARCHAEOLOGICAL ETHICS : READINGS FROM
ARCHAEOLOGY MAGAZINE (Walnut Creek, CA: AltaMira Press, 1996). ISBN
0-7619-0530-8, $40.00 (cloth); ISBN 0-7619-0531-6, $18.95 (paper). (Since
this is a collection of readings from ARCHAEOLOGY, I am afraid that many
academic libraries will not order it automatically.)
Topics covered in the book: Looting and Collecting; Responses to Looting;
Cultural Heritage in Time of War and Political Unrest; Affected Peoples;
Reburial and Repatriation; and Professional Behavior. Appendix A has
statements on archaeological ethics from SOPA, AIA, and SAA. Appendix B is a
resource guide. I hope to review this book shortly.
