ANP 203 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Forensic Anthropology, Biological Anthropology, Stone Tool
Document Summary
203 study guide: exam 1: activity area: a general term for a spatially bounded area within a place inhabited or used by people where a particular task or tasks were carried out. Stuff may accumulate where activities were carried out as people lose or simple dispose of material they no longer need or that is of no further use: anthropology: the holistic study of humanity. Whereas other social and behavioral sciences tend to specialize in and focus on individual elements of human behavior, such as economics, anthropology looks broadly at how human beings behave and how that behavior has evolved. The examination of human physical evolution, ecultural evolution, adaptation, and language: archaeology: the study of the material remains of human behavior. For archaeological specimen to be an artifact, it must have been intentionally made, not merely the accidental result of human activity: assemblage: the entirety or individual subsets of the material culture recovered at an archaeological site or sites.
