Compare and contrast the three ethic statements we have read (SAA and WAC for January 22; ICOM for February 12). The first two are written for two different archaeological organizations, while the third is written for museums. What values/ethical systems are enshrined in each of these codes? What is the strongest point of agreement between the three? Where do the strongest differences arise? You may want to look for other information about each of these organizations on their websites, but it is not necessary. For WAC, focus on the First Code of Ethics only.
Requirements:
Your paper must be 2-3 pages in length, double-spaced, with a 12-point or larger font. Letter grades will be assigned based on clarity, accuracy, use of proper citations, and the strength of your argument. Grammar, style, and proofreading will be taken into account. Your essays should directly engage with and use the assigned readings for the course up through February 12. You should include citations to class readings that include author, year of publication, and page number (e.g., Lowry 1998:429). A reference page is unnecessary unless you cite something that was not assigned for class (which I would discourage).
Requirements: 2-3 pages
