Anthropology & Archeology: Field Work

Salem Press documents contemporary American life, early American societies, and African-American history.

Field work is the process of observing and collecting data about people, cultures, and natural environments. It is conducted in the wild of our everyday surroundings rather than in the semi-controlled environments of a lab or classroom. It allows researchers to collect data about the dynamic places, people and species around them, and also enables researchers to examine the way scientific theories interact with real life.
