Ethnoarchaeology

Abstract

Abstract Ethnoarchaeology, also known as action or living archaeology, studies living people in order to enhance our understanding of past human behavior and cultural systems reflected in the archaeological record. The fieldwork is distinguished from ethnography by its explicit concern with archaeological questions. Emerging in the 1960s as an important subdiscipline of the “New” archaeology, ethnoarchaeology has expanded in scope beyond an initial focus on technology and adaptive strategies to engage with problems posed by post‐processual theorists. The validity and correct application of the analogy inherent to its interpretive framework continue to be debated.
