      Archaeology is essentially conducting anthropology (or, history) via the study of past artifacts. I do think Norm here was conflating the two. Whether through actual ignorance or just artistic license… hard to tell.

        Except archaeology is a subfield (1 of 4) of Anthropology so it’s really not a mistake.
