Ethics in Archeology

from Professor Dave Explains Hosted by Professor Dave Explains

Archeological excavation is an inherently destructive process. And for a long time, archeology was practiced unethically. One egregious practice was the taking of human remains from communities who did not want to be disturbed. Good science is ethical science, so let's take a moment to outline the proper practices of ethical archeology.Script by Robert WilliamsWatch the whole Anthropology playlist: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveAnthroGeneral Chemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveGenChemOrganic Chemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveOrgChemBiochemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBiochemBiology Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBioAnatomy & Physiology Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveAnatPhysMicrobiology Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveMicrobioBotany Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBotanyZoology Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveZooEMAIL► [email protected]► http://patreon.com/ProfessorDaveExplainsCheck out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!Amazon: https://amzn.to/2HtNpVHBookshop: https://bit.ly/39cKADMBarnes and Noble: https://bit.ly/3pUjmrn Book Depository: http://bit.ly/3aOVDlT
