What are the differences between sociology and archaeology?
This is a great big question…I’ll explain briefly. Archaeology is part of Anthropology which is concerned with humans that are dead and the material things they left behind. Sociology is it’s own thing…but is very, very closely related to cultural anthropology. They are concerned with living humans, basically. Sociologist study human migration, social injustice, demographics, crime, gender, race issues, and class…to name a few. Just remember that the Archaeologist can’t talk to his study group…a sociologist can. Both are concerned with societies, stuctures within those societies, patterns and so on. Time is the difference. Archaeology has to find clues and piece things together…like a puzzle. Sociologists have it easy! Hope this helps.
