A rchaeology is anthropology? A difficultythat arises from parsing this declaration is the polyvalencies of both "archaeology" and "anthropology," as well as the multiple possibilities for constructing a relationship among them.Most often this phrase has connoted the meaning of archaeology as a subfiekl or specialty, one part of the multi-subfield discipline of anthropology.A related construal therefore derives more simply from the resulting institutional arrangement: many archaeologists are housed in anthropology departments and hold advanced degrees in anthropology.However, the relationship has also historically been treated as archaeology trying to be something it cannot or should not be, another discipline with different objectives and methods or, if not another discipline entirely, archaeology in a wholly dependent and inferior relationship with anthropology.Finally, there is an ideal of anthropology as a field of study whose practitioners address questions that touch on all aspects of humankind-cultural and biological, social and material, past and presentand thus must incorporate archaeology as an integral component.
