Question

Are you agree that the archaeologist in the US is also an anthropologist?

Answer 1

Principally in the United States,anthropology is often defined as being "holistic" and based on a "four-field" approach. There is an ongoing dispute on this view; supporters consider anthropology holistic in two senses: it is concerned with all human beings across times and places, and with all dimensions of humanity (evolutionary, biophysical, sociopolitical, economic, cultural, psychological, etc.); also many academic programs following this approach take a "four-field" approach to anthropology that encompasses physical anthropology, archeology, linguistics, and cultural anthropology or social anthropology.

Answer 2

Yes, archaeology in the United States is considered a sub-discipline of anthropology, along with cultural, physical, and linguistics.
