(old things)

Anthropologist:

parts of human society

What is the difference between an

archeologists and anthropologists?

Dr Dig!

Technically, an anthropologist studies

all aspects of humanity - physical (or

biological), cultural, and

archaeological. The archaeologist has

a narrower field, and studies the past

by recovering and analyzing artifacts

and evidence of material culture.

There is a great deal of overlap

between the two disciplines.

Maybe a simpler answer would be good!

An archaeologist digs up and studies

man's past by examining the material

remains of his cultures and what he did,

while an anthropologist interprets these

findings to find out what he thought

and believed.

Maybe a simpler answer would be good!

They are sometimes closely

linked and can be blurred, but

the main difference is that the

archaeologist is concentrating

on the physical evidence, while

the anthropologist looks at the

same evidence to discover how

and why they believe whatever.

Artifact:

Items MADE by humans from

the past

EXAMPLES??

Fossils:

Preserved remains of

humans, plants, or other

items from the past

Examples??

How do you find these fossils and artifacts?

You dig them up!

What is another way

to say to dig up something

Excavate

Define: to dig up

Use it in a sentence

When I dig something up how do I know how

old it is?

You can date it!

You mean take it out for dinner and a

movie??

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

NO !

You can tell how old it is by saying

what year it was made!

Now you know how we study

social studies….but why should

we study it??
