Module 3 Ethics

For our lab assignment we were tasked with creating a map of  Jordanian archaeological sites, as well as the creation of a secure geodatabase and file structure. This map could be used to manage and monitor sites in Jordan by creating an assessment of the current condition of the sites mapped.  Additionally, we discussed a chapter from Brian Fagan's book, The Arrogant Archaeologist. This chapter describes his frustrations with treasure hunters and the need for more emphasis on conservation, ethics, and public education withing college level archaeology courses.
