n.a. (2001). The responsibilities of archaeologists:. Oxford: Archaeopress.

uses the book that the film Planet of the Apes was based upon to develop a metaphor that studies the roles of archaeology and the intellectual. Focuses on potential barriers to independent thought

considers the origin and changing role of the academy. Notes the tension between a healthy diversity and an increasingly debilitating inequality of the means to fulfil aspirations towards traditional academic goals

argues that archaeologists have mostly avoided consideration of their complicity in the destructive forces of industrialism and capitalism with their effects on the environment and human communities, through their association with developers. Suggests that the discipline has a clear duty of global responsibility to demonstrate that current trajectories (of growth, increasing waste and other forms of pollution, decreasing biodiversity and so on) are not only unsustainable but also not the only way in which lives can be lived

considers problems associated with the responsibility to justly represent both past and contemporary populations. Argues that the process of making analogy will be adversely affected by relationships of dominance between ethnoarchaeologists and the people they observe as long as it is deemed acceptable to `represent' the subject of the study as large scale systemic process or symbolic and structural principle

argues for a greater reflexive awareness of the visual potential in archaeological publication and explores in particular the strengths and weaknesses of montage as an approach that might be of benefit to both the author and consumer
