Western culture while historically, Anthropology has focused on non-Western cultures.
**Long-Term - Anthropology often examines societies historically and presently
**Holistic - Anthropologists must be synthesizers and study societies in the broadest
way possible often combining the study of disciplines to find interconnections and
interdependence (ex. studying biology and culture together

large wall, foundation, charcoal from fires)
**Ecofacts: Information or articles from the surrounding environment

Subfields of Archaeology - Answer-**Academic: Traditional, research-oriented, often
affiliated with universities or museums, often guided by scientific interest or specific
research questions, studies tend to occur over extended periods of time
**Cultural Resource Management (CRM): Often done to preserve cultural sites
threatened by development projects, mandated by federal or state law, projects often
constrained by time and budget
