5.  What is the difference between an archaeologist and an anthropologist? Marta, Web post  Dr. dig responds: Technically, an anthropologist studies all aspects of humanity - physical (or biological), cultural, and archaeological. The archaeologist has a narrower field, and studies the past by recovering and analyzing artifacts and evidence of material culture. There is a great deal of overlap between the two disciplines.

7.  Tab that has anthropology terms that show up in the magazine and that someone may not know off hand.. example:  Absolute Dating:(also known as chronometric dating). A dating method that attempts to determine an object's exact age (as opposed to its relative age) in calendar years (AD or BC/BCE) or in years before present (BP). This includes scientific methodologies such as dendrochronology, radiocarbon dating and potassium-argon dating. The dates provided by these methods are not 100% accurate, and each date has a margin of uncertainty.

8.  Activities that correlate with articles in Dig:  Creativity: You can create a miniature dig in a shoebox. To make a small Native American hunting site, pack some 25-cent arrowheads, animal bones, and beads into a few inches of sand or soil. That provides enough material to provoke questions about how the people lived.
