Abstract:
“Disappearing ethics? Towards rights and practices in the archaeology of the 21st century” Ian Hodder This paper both explores a general framework for an ethical practice of stakeholder involvement in archaeology, while at the same time raising some issues that need further discussion and resolution. The example of my work at Çatalhöyük in central Turkey will be used, as well as the example of the role of archaeology in the Middle East. In such areas of extreme tension, is a shared past possible, and what sorts of issues (from the philosophical to the pragmatic) are raised by the attempt to promote an inclusive past in such contexts? In this paper, I argue that archaeologists need to move beyond dialogue and participation to address some of the ethical and practical problems that are often faced.
