Title:
Weaving Global Standards for Archaeology: Universal Guidance Looms
Content:
This proposal relates to creating and applying ethical standards in research and practice.
In a session co-organised by the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIfA) and the Institute of Archaeologists of Ireland (IAI) at the 2022 Budapest meeting, we discussed the potential benefits of universally applicable standards for archaeology, and high-level guidance on how they should be met. We also explored the impossibility of applying detailed guidance globally, recognising the wide variations of law, policy, practice and culture between different jurisdictions. Meeting those challenges, we looked at how country-specific guidance can support and be woven into CIfA’s emergent global framework of ethical code, standards and high-level guidance, using an example from Northern Ireland.
This workshop will examine the consultation draft CIfA guidance, and any other specialist or professional guidance which is intended for multinational (not national or regional) use, and which is supplied before the meeting.
We envisage a moderated co-creative writing workshop, not a programme of papers.
