Notes

The BCAPA Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct is excerpted from their bylaws on this designated web page. The Code of Ethics outlines four principles that members of the Association must abide by. The Code of Conduct is organized based on the archaeologist's responsibility to seven entities: the archaeological record, the public, cultural groups, the discipline and profession of Archaeology, other archaeologists, clients, and operational standards. This page also details BCAPA's grievance procedure.

The following is a link to several resources they have compiled under their "Standards of Practice" page:
