13th International Conference on the History and Archaeology of Jordan

Participants from the Danish-German Jerash Northwest Quarter Project present new results from the large-scale excavation.

Outline

The title "Ethics in Archaeology" has been chosen for its importance and its role in the outcome of research through the archaeological excavations, surveys, restoration and maintenance work, as well as its role on the exhibited objects and finds in the museums. The ethics of an archaeologist are equally important as his valued research results. Thus the researcher gains respect and acknowledgement from all parties, especially in light of what is happening regarding looting, smuggling and destruction of cultural heritage subjects in any country. This is why we have to emphasize the importance of ethics and professionalism in archaeology.
