This bring-your-own-lunch session in Ethics in Archaeology will address current challenges surrounding fieldwork requirements, including limited excavation opportunities and the rising cost of participation.
Key questions:
- Is fieldwork experience a measure of merit, or access to opportunity?
- Should archaeology require training that many students cannot afford?
- If there are not enough excavation placements, should requirements change?
- Are field schools training opportunities or gatekeeping mechanisms?
