As my archaeology professor explained it, from how he was trained but not all of archaeology acts this way, is that when archaeologists dig, they have to have an expressed research question in mind and do extensive research before they dig, and they only dig so much, in case future science can anaylze the site with better technology and less disturbance. He told us that they tend to recover the site with the dirt that's been displaced. Also, unless the sites are tombs/grave sites/temples/contain human remains/other sacred places, most of what archaeologists find are the trash people left behind at a sudden, or in a hurry, and a lot can still be learned.

But, he did say that back in the day, archaeology was about more about "collecting cool shit", and THAT I would equate to grave robbing. He also told a story about how he wanted to dig out on a reservation here in California, and went before the tribe council to reassure them that he wasn't studying grave mounds, he knew exactly what they looked like and would stay away from them.

So, basically, I'd like to say that archaeology has come a long way with ethics, but there's still something to be unsure of.
