Document Summary
Anthropology: the holistic study of the human species, past and present. Archaeology: the study of humans and their history, studied by focusing on their human remains, such as dwellings, tools, garbage, field systems. Franz boas work laid the groundwork of archaeology. The material things that we have say a lot about us. Archaeologists are interested in tracking material culture differences from point a to b (change across space). As well, they are interested in change over time. They explore how and why things change over time, and what drives the changes socially. They can connect with people from the past. Research driven archaeology: everything is driven by a series of questions, funded by research grant. University based archaeology: look at everything that comes back and try to figure out what it means. Cultural resource management (crm) takes place ahead of development, paid by the developer.
