Foundational Anthropologists 

There are conflicting ideas on how to organize the fields of archaeology and anthropology as archaeology in the Americas is a subfield of anthropology: the study of humans. In other parts of the world, archaeology is an independent field of study or part of historical research. The current section on the map follows America's organizational structure placing archaeology under anthropology as a subfield but in other countries, these fields are placed as separate fields of study and sometimes have different terms or meanings associated. 

Difference Between Archaeology and Anthropology 

There are many ways to conduct anthropology. Different approaches to anthropology have developed in many countries. Anthropologists on a global scale work together through international organizations to try and understand more about our lives as humans.
