Anthropology and Ethnology
The basis of modern archaeology is the study of human cultures, and archaeologists have been using modern culture studies to understand how their sites were formed since the 1960s.
An Archaeology of the Soul
Drawing from both ethnographies of the past and oral history of the present, archaeologist Robert Hall provides the reader with the depth of field only obtained from years of research and contemplation of the intricacies of human culture.
Slavery
In the last 100 years or so, archaeology shifted from a focus on past rulers and other elite persons to the study of less-fortunate people, including the relationship between slaves and their masters.
Culture
To anthropologists (and many archaeologists), culture refers to the way of life of a group of people.
