What are the differences between anthropology and archaeology

Anthropology is the study of human societies from the past and present, while Archaeology is the study of human societies exclusively from the past. Anthropology can also be considered the study of man, focusing on the developments in the civilizations and communities of humans from the past and present. There are many forms of anthropology, such as social anthropology, cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and biological/physical anthropology. On the other hand, Archaeology explores the societies and lives of people from ancient civilizations, excavating ruins of structures, burial grounds, monuments, human fossils, and artifacts to learn about particular periods, environments, and geographical areas. It also focuses on weapons, jewelry, furniture, pottery, and coins or other forms of currency. The key differences between anthropology and archaeology include their focus on different time periods, the types of artifacts they study, and the specific subdivisions within each field.
