Anthropologist Role Anthropologist Expert Role Hi. I'm Larry Zimmerman. I also happen to be an archaeologist, so I use anthropology all the time when I do archaeology.
Anthropology is the study of living peoples and everything they do.
Archaeologists use information about modern people to help interpret what people of the past did and what their lives were like. This means that you actually take part in the activity you see people doing at the same time that you make observations about it. You take notes while you do it, just like an archaeologist takes notes at a dig. For your expert role activity, we are going to look at art. Sometimes in archaeology sites art is easy to see.
