SAA bulletin, Vol.17(1)
01/1999
Abstract
Editor's note: Paper prepared by the Undergraduate Education Work Group (Hester A. Davis, chair) at the SAA Workshop on "Teaching Archaeology in the 21st Century" held at Wakulla Springs, Florida, February 5-8, 1998, George S. Smith and Susan J. Bender, workshop cochairs. See SAA Bulletin 16(5): 11 for a discussion of the workshop.
During the past two decades archaeological practice has been transformed by internal and external forces, requiring archaeologists to develop new skills and ethical principles for the practice of archaeology in all its applications. To prepare archaeologists for the challenges of the 21st century, it is critical that these ethical principles be infused into the undergraduate curriculum, enhanced at the graduate level, and continued as part of postgraduate education and professional development.
