This AHRC-funded workshop\, generously sponsored by the Ashmolean Museum\, is \;organised within the framework of an AHRC-funded Research Network Group project on &lsquo\;The Ethics and Aesthetics of Archaeology&rsquo\;: \;https://www.dur.ac.uk/philosophy/research/research_projects/aes.eth.arch/

\n\n

This \;wider project \;brings together philosophers\, archaeologists and museum and heritage practitioners in order to focus on the relation between ethics and aesthetics\, and explore how this relation shapes the \;understanding and practice of archaeological stewardship. \;The main premise underlying our multidisciplinary project is the idea that research into the ethics of stewardship \;(including moral obligations\, duties and respect) will be enhanced significantly by an \;increased understanding of the role played by \;the \;aesthetic character of historical objects in \;influencing the moral relations we have with them and their makers.

\n\n

The project is directed by Prof. Elisabeth Schellekens Dammann (Philosophy\, Uppsala &\; Durham) and Dr Robin Skeates (Archaeology\, Durham). They are assisted by Dr Andreas Pantazatos (Co-Director of the Centre for the Ethics of Cultural Heritage &\; Philosophy\, Durham).
