Because the scholarly and research interests of most students are readily identifiable as centering in one of the four conventionally recognized subfields of anthropology â archaeology, linguistic anthropology, physical anthropology, and sociocultural anthropology â the Department formulates guidelines for study within each of these subfields.
Anthropology is a broad, holistic study of human beings. Many people confuse anthropology as a whole with its subfields archaeology (going on digs) or physical anthropology (studying bones). Actually anthropology includes archaeology, physical anthropology, and cultural anthropology. Cultural anthropologists study living culturesâfrom hunters and gatherer societies in Africa to large corporations in the USAâby living in the culture and gaining the insiders' point of view.
