Current Research In Ethnoarchaeology

The ethnographic study of people for archaeological explorations is known as ethnoarchaeology. The study is primarily conducted through the observations of the material remains of a society. Ethnoarchaeology is useful in reconstructing ancient lifeways by examining the material and non-material traditions of modern societies. It also helps in understanding the ways by which an object was made and the purposes of that object. The use of direct historical approach is a popular method in ethnoarcaheology. It focuses on the present cultures that are genetically or spatially related to the archaeological culture of interest. It helps in forming analogies that are used to explain findings. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of ethnoarchaeology. It elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to this field. In this book, using case studies and examples, constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the difficult concepts of ethnoarchaeology as easy and informative as possible, for the readers.
