Resource theme: Ethics - National Resource type: Tools & Practices - Normative instruments Editor: Archaeological Institute of AmericaDate: 2008Pages / Length: 3 p.Language of publication: EnglishA Code of Professional Standards applying to the AIA's Professional Members was adopted by vote of the Council on December 29, 1994, and amended on December 29, 1997 and January 5, 2008. Among other things, this Code states: "Professional archaeologists should adhere to the Guidelines of the AIA general Code of Ethics concerning illegal antiquities in their research and publication." It should be noted that neither the general Code of Ethics nor the Code of Professional Standards constitute "rules" that the AIA Membership "must" follow. Rather, they are guidelines for ethical behavior and statements of responsibility to the archaeological record.
