	Ethnoarchaeology in the Mediterranean
		The experimental construction of a post-framed and wattle-and-daub hut in the Pomak village of Sarakini in upland Rhodope, Thrace, Greece.
		Ethnoarchaeology today is a dynamic branch of archaeological inquiry which can offer useful insights into the past.
		Either by critically evaluating existing explanatory propositions through the testing of theoretical archaeological and methodological practices or by generating alternative explanations using contemporary ethnographic observations, ethnoarchaeological studies are considered an integral part of present-day archaeological reasoning helping to explore the complexities of human behavior and institutions.

	Ethnoarchaeology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ethnoarchaeology is the ethnographic study of peoples for archaeological reasons, usually focusing on the material remains of a society, rather than its culture.
		Ethnoarchaeology aids archaeologists in reconstructing ancient lifeways by studying the material and non-material traditions of modern societies.
		One good example of ethnoarchaeology is that of Brian Hayden (1987), whose team examined the manufacture of Mesoamerican quern-stones, providing valuable insights into the manufacture of prehistoric quern-stones.

	Archaeology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Archaeology is sometimes referred to as "fossilized human behavior" that is a living record of past life preserved through time through artifacts-or the lack of knowledge of these artifacts.
		The idea of ethnoarchaeology can be a very helpful and intriguing tool to the archaeologist when there is a lack of archaeological evidence to support an idea or theory.
		So, as archaeologists develop different ways to overcome limitations posed by traditional means the method of ethnoarchaeology steps up to the challenge as a legitimate aid in the science of archaeology.

		In 1970 she worked with an urban potter in Guatemala and by 1975 was committed to the nascent field of ethnoarchaeology, a scholarly enterprise that uses information about contemporary behavior patterns to interpret archaeological data.
		Her edited volume, Ethnoarchaeology: Implications of Ethnography for Archaeology (1979), was a landmark in this field.
		Her most recent book, Ethnoarchaeology in Action, co-authored with Nicholas David, 2001, is the standard reference in the field.

		She goes on to add that such research "cannot be defined as ethnoarchaeology and may be at best left as ethnography." The reviewer would like to add that these do not qualify to be proper ethnography either.
		A free and frank review of literature is bound to reveal that ethnoarchaeology in India has come to be like an appendix which has remained away from the main concerns of both archaeologists as also anthropologists.

		Ethnoarchaeology is the study of modern societies resembling extinct ones of archaeological interest, for archaeological purposes.
		It is often difficult to infer solid conclusions about the structure and values of ancient societies from their material remains, not only because objects are mute and say little about those who crafted and used them, but also because not all objects survive to be uncovered by scholars of a later age.
		Ethnoarchaeology seeks to determine, for instance, what kinds of objects used in a living settlement are deposited in middens or other places where they may be preserved, and how likely an object is to be discarded near to the place where it was used.

	Peter Schmidt - Department of Anthropology at the University of Florida
		Trained as both an archaeologist and historian, I have researched and written on oral traditions and oral histories as indigenous historiographies-pushing beyond conventional separations of history and prehistory to develop an historical archaeology that examines historical representations and social memory in their multiple expressions.
		Ethnoarchaeology has been one of my primary field methods over the last thirty years, with the ethnotechnology of iron production in the forefront.
		I am concerned with the theoretical issues embedded within the practice of ethnoarchaeology as well as the capacity of ethnoarchaeology to address symbolic life.

		I retired at the end of December 2001 and have since then been heavily involved in fieldwork in northern Cameroon, once again doing dirt archaeology and investigating what were formerly thought to be stone-built strongholds but now seem more likely to be watch and water towers.
		In 2001 we began a new phase of the project that focuses on "Material signatures of practice, agency and world view: the ethnoarchaeology and archaeology of chiefly residences in the Mandara mountains." An edited but not updated selection from our grant application to the SSHRC is available.
		For some years I have been accumulating a bibliography of ethnoarchaeology and related studies, partly for purposes of teaching, partly because I was engaged with Carol Kramer in writing, Ethnoarchaeology in Action, and needed a bibliographic data base to work from.

	H-Net Review: Charles C. Kolb on Pottery in Rajasthan: Ethnoarchaeology in Two Indian Cities
		Kramer (1979, ed.; 1982) has previously defined the ultimate objective of ethnoarchaeology as an improved understanding of the relationships between patterned behavior and elements of material culture that may be preserved in the archaeological record.
		In the case of ceramic ethnoarchaeology (Kramer 1985:77-78), the material culture is pottery and the human behaviors are those of the producers, distributors, sellers, and consumers.
		Nonetheless, in spite of the relatively high cost of this handsome volume, the data and conclusions reported in it are valuable contributions to ethnoarchaeology and economic anthropology, and serves to fill in a void in our comprehension of the intricacies of ceramic production and, particularly, its distribution.

		The authors present an excellent review of the scope and relevance of the discipline, of what has been achieved, almost all notably in the theoretical approaches of the 1980s and 1990s, and what is left to be done.
		The range and approaches to problems that can be accommodated under the banner of ethnoarchaeology is large, as it draws upon science, social science and the humanities.
		Adopting a topical approach to the material by subject area, case-studies are offered, which supply ample coverage of the various subjects: fauna and subsistence, artefacts and style, architecture and settlement structure, craft production, trade and exchange, mortuary practices and beliefs.

		The fourth version of the ethnoarchaeology bibliography celebrates the first time in my retirement from teaching and admin that I have had time to do anything about my website.
		Because the primary purpose of the bibliography is to provide access to ethnoarchaeological materials, a reference that combines ethnoarchaeology with another discipline will be classified as ‘ea’ so long as its ethnoarchaeological content is significant.
		If a work is primarily ethnoarchaeology but includes a significant experimental archaeology element, I have added /ex to the keywords after the first three.
