I know plenty of fine American Archaeologists who are *not* anthropologists
(they are historians, theologans, classicists, etc), in fact in Biblical
(Syrio-Palestinian) Archaeology you'd be hard put to find any
anthropologists! None of the historically noted Archaeologists such as
Albright and Glueck were anthropologists.
And the best archaeology course I've taken was in the Hebrew Department at
the University of Wisconsin!
One can just as easily turn it around and say that anthropology is a sub
field of archaeology....
