Accountability [we are accountable for the communities we work with/around] Commercialization [putting a monetary price on artifacts is a very bad practice] Public education and outreach [no matter what the project is, try to keep the public informed] Intellectual property [not fair for everyone else to keep the artifacts/analyses/conclusions you have on your research. Must share it with the rest of the archaeological community] Training and resources [our responsibility to train those interested in archaeology] 2 - they set a potential value for the objects they find.
