Historical Skills Workshop (Unit 1)<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

The four fields of anthropology (cultural, biological, linguistic, and archaeology) contribute to our understanding of people, cultures, and civilizations. Through discussion, images, hands-on artifacts, and activities students will learn about the focus of each field, how anthropologists study artifacts and make observations, and how conclusions are made through the scientific method. Students will discover how anthropological methods can be used to enhance their knowledge of the past and the present. This program is designed as an introduction to the four fields of anthropology but can have a focus on an individual field. This program can be enhanced by visiting the exhibit Stories of Humanity: Anthropology in North Carolina<\/em><\/a>.<\/em>
