Ethnocentrism can be avoided by studying other cultures without making judgements about them. This approach is called cultural relativism. One way to achieve cultural relativism is to study cultures scientifically and without cultural biases. Archaeologists cannot see or talk to the people they are studying, so they must be careful when making judgements about past cultures. By scientifically studying the foods, raw materials, and other artifacts people used to meet their basic needs, archaeologists can make general inferences about that culture.
Different cultures have different manners of dress.
