Ethnoarchaeology is a branch of archaeology that focuses on studying the present-day traditional societies and their material culture to gain insights into the past. This research area aims to understand the relationship between human behavior, social organization, and the material remains left behind by ancient societies. Ethnoarchaeologists often use observations, interviews, and participatory research methods to gather information about contemporary practices that may be similar to those of past cultures. By studying how modern societies use tools, build structures, and interact with their environment, ethnoarchaeologists can make inferences about past societies and their archaeological remains.
