How do they match: Anthropologists and Archeologists

  • Collect artifacts made of stone, bone, metal, and other materials, placing them in bags and marking them to show where they were found.
  • Collect information and make judgments through observation, interviews, and review of documents.
  • Create data records for use in describing and analyzing social patterns and processes, using photography, videography, and audio recordings.
  • Study archival collections of primary historical sources to help explain the origins and development of cultural patterns.
  • Train others in the application of ethnographic research methods to solve problems in organizational effectiveness, communications, technology development, policy making, and program planning.
