The Ethics of Archaeology: Philosophical Perspectives on Archaeological Practice, ed. Scarre & Scarre, is presumably the sort of thing you're looking for. (Declaration of interest: Geoffrey Scarre is my Ph.D. supervisor.)
Here are a couple of sources I found while in Germany, which might be useful.
Flasher, M. (ed.). 2000. Bewahren als Problem. Schutz archäologischer Kulturgüter. Freiburg: Rombach Wissenschaften.
Heilmeyer, W.D. and Eule, J.C. (eds.). 2004. Illegale Archäologie? Internationale Konferenz über zukünftige Probleme bei unerlaubtem Antikentransfer,23. - 25.5.2003 in Berlin, aus Anlass des 15. Jahrestages der Berliner Erklärung. Berlin: Weißensee Verlag.
I've been told there are plans to translate the latter volume into English, but I've been unable to find out when this might happen. I do know the individual manuscripts have been translated.
This will be an excellent resource for those of us in grad school too. Please make sure you keep a prominent link on your front page.
There is a link to 'Introductory Bibliography' under links on the left hand column.
A few more that I found in my notes, which I had forgot to mention before:
