The Society for American Archaeology’s Committee on Ethics is pleased to announce the Fifth Annual Ethics Bowl. Graduate and undergraduate students are invited to organize a team of 3 to 5 participants with a faculty advisor to take part in the event at the SAA 73rd Annual Meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia on March 27, 2008.
The SAA Ethics Bowl is a debate-style competition based on several hypothetical case studies representing a range of ethical dilemmas encountered in archaeological practice. Case studies from previous years are wonderful teaching tools and study materials for teams preparing for the Ethics Bowl. These resources are available online:click here.
