Balancing Archaeological Responsibilities and Community Commitments: A Case from Honduras
Journal of Field Archaeology 32 (2007) 196--205

Exploring the implications of a recent discovery in NW Honduras, this paper considers the ethical dilemma that arises when an archaeologists responsibility to disseminate information conflicts with her/his commitment to protect cultural resources. We suggest that applied archaeology that benefits local communities among which investigations are conducted is a first step toward developing long-term solutions to conservation and stewardship challenges.
