Dear NPR,
Archaeologists are in fact Anthropologists
In a recent story about Stonehenge archeology, Andrea Seabrook stated that “archaeologists and anthropologists have theorized that Stonehenge has…”. It is too bad that NPR is not aware that archeology is in fact one of the sub-fields of Anthropology.
Aside for that blunder, it’s a good story @Archaeologists Seek New Clues at Stonehenge.
But like Catholics who claim they are “Catholic and not Christian”, Ms. Seabrook has become the unwitting dupe for those few archeologists who seem unwilling to refer to themselves as anthropologists.
Respectfully,
