(Sorry again.&nbsp; I *will* learn to send it to the list first time...)<br><br>I understand and appreciate that, but surely, if it is the actions of
the Turkish government you wish to challenge, it should be their sites
that you do not work on and their academics that you do not work with,
not the sites in and the academics of their occupied community.&nbsp; When
you said you would choose not to work in Israel, I presume you meant in
Israel, rather than in Israel and the Occupied Territories (as you
would not wish to punish the Palestinians for being an occupied
community).&nbsp; Would it not make sense, then, to refuse to work in Turkey
on the sites and with the academics of the Occupying Power, rather than
to refuse to work in northern Cyprus on the sites and with the
academics of the Occupied Community?
<br><br>If I remember correctly, the UN regulations allow only rescue
and other &quot;emergency&quot; archaeology in occupied territories, although for
a variety of reasons, some archaeologists are now advocating reform (so
that active work may be done, rather than only development-led and, so
frequently, development-limited work.
<br><br>Of course, the question of a boycott of archaeology in Turkey
would raise the question of whether Turkey were a democracy that it
would be just to pressure through boycott...
