Notes

While this is not a singular Code of Ethics, it provides a discussion of and resources for the many ethical issues that face underwater archaeologists, including museum standards, archaeological practice, and heritage considerations. This page provides resources to international and domestic laws, several application ethics codes (including museum and archaeological standards of practice), and an Ethics Press Kit for media relations about ethical issues.
