What are the four subfields of anthropology?
Archaeology Archaeologists use the material evidence of the past. They study potsherds, tools, the ruins of buildings, animal bones, and many other types of objects to learn how people lived in the past. Archaeologists study both prehistoric cultures (those who left behind no written records) and historic ones too. The patterns of the archaeological record are used to explore topics such as the emergence of agriculture, the evolution of technology, the appearance of complex societies, and how societies change over long periods of time. Biological Anthropology Bioanthropologists concentrate on the biological aspects of humans. They examine biological variation across space and time to explore topics such as human evolution, how humans adapt to different physical environments, and what other primates (our closest relatives) can tell us about what it means to be human. Bioanthropologists often look for links between human biology and culture to determine how each affects the other. Linguistic Anthropology Linguistic anthropologists study the social and cultural contexts of language and how they vary. They can seek to reconstruct vanished languages, study the fundamental processes of language and how it evolves, how it is related to patterns of thought and meaning in different cultures, and how and why social variation relates to the ways language is produced and used. Social and Cultural Anthropology Cultural anthropologists study living societies and cultures by learning from the people who inhabit them. They may conduct ethnographic field work by going to live as a participant-observer with a group, society, or culture. They make comparisons between cultures to explain similarities and differences. Cultural anthropologists can study any aspect of a culture - family structure, social organization, economics, political systems, religion, art, and language. They are especially interested in the linkages and connections that bind cultures and societies together or distinguish them from each other.
What is the politics of representation in anthropology?
The politics of representation refers to how anthropologists represent various groups of people, the power embedded in those representations (who gets to speak for whom, and what picture they get to paint) as well as how those representations are used, both by the group itself and by other interested parties, to serve particular agendas. Imagine, for example, an anthropologist who writes about the ritual practices of a particular indigenous group. Then imagine that the indigenous group objects to that representation, saying it's either false or that the anthropologist has no right to write about it. That's the politics of representation. Or imagine that the indigenous group likes the representation, and uses the anthropologist's writing to make a case for land rights or cultural uniqueness or to market themselves to tourists. That's also the politics of representation. Or imagine that the anthropologist's depiction is used by the government to make a case against the group represented, saying it's a savage or backward group that should be domesticated. That's the politics of representation too. I hope that helps!

One who studies artifacts of people?
Archaeologists are scientists who examine objects to learn about the past, people, and cultures. They sift through the dirt of prehistoric camps to find bones, tools, and other objects. For example, bones might tell an archaeologist about the people who lived there. Historians and archaeologistsare different from each other since historians study the written records of human life and accomplishments to understand a society which are its wars, its religion, and its rulers, among other things. Historians also look at what other groups living at the same time wrote about that society as well as the objects discovered by archaeologists to learn about the past. However, archaeologists pretty much rely on their prior knowledge and objects discovered to learn about the past.
