What is the difference between an archaeologist and an architect?

Very basically, an archaeologist digs up and studies man's past by scientific analysis of the material remains of his cultures and what he did, while an anthropologist interprets these findings to find out what he thought and believed.They are sometimes closely linked and can be blurred, but the main difference is that one is concentrating on the physical evidence, while the other is on the interpretation of that same evidence to discover how and why they believe whatever.Solid evidence and scientific facts are one thing which does not alter, but what can alter is the interpretation of those same facts. This can vary because of a person's ideology, their background, their own belief system , but especially new evidence/facts and/or scientific theories/ beliefs resulting in a sometimes different interpretation from the original one made.There is both a fine line between the two disciplines and an overlap of the two, and this is where you have to be very cautious and not rely on any ideology.For example, we have realized over the last decade that ancient man was not a crude savage Neanderthal with only stone tools living in a cave, but an intelligent, civilized, and cultured man with metal tools that corroded away ,leaving only rust flakes and depressions or indentations in burial sites.Another example is where Manetho listed the pharoahs of ancient Egypt consecutively [to make Egypt's history more impressive to the conquering Greeks in order to preserve their culture and face] and these were the 'facts' recorded in books and taught by teachers and educators, whereas we have now found that many of the pharoahs were actually co-regents (ie ruling together [eg father/son]), with this 500 years difference meaning other often-different civilizations and rulers were now contemporaneous and that actual history was now changed. Just one problem: nothing changed. All you have to do is look at modern textbooks and compare them with older ones; they still regurgitate the same 'facts' and the interpretation of those same facts; indeed, check out the Internet and you will still find the same repetition of error and accepted wisdom.Ancient man was far, far more intelligent and advanced than we give him credit for; indeed, modern man is actually regressing both physically and mentally. That is one reason why archaeologists keep on finding cultures that are both ancient and advanced, and by 'advanced' I mean in actual and not relative terms. Take Ur of the Chaldees at the time of Abraham: did you know that it was not a heap of tents or shacks, but quite substantial houses with piped underground sewerage ? When was London sewered?


Describe the cliff dwellings of the ancient pueblo ans and explain the advantages those dwellings may have offered?

The cliff dwellings of the ancient Puebloans were multi-storey structures built into the sides of cliffs in the American Southwest. These dwellings provided natural protection against enemies and harsh weather conditions, as well as easy access to water sources and agricultural land on the mesa tops. Additionally, living in such elevated locations helped the Puebloans safeguard their food supplies and belongings from animals.


Is Amelia Earhart an explorer or an adventurer?

AS she indeed did go where (No woman had gone before) she certainly qualified as both an Explorer and adventuress. For some reason she was snubbed by the Explorer"s Club (of New York) and they conspired to keep her out, the Ec at the time was all male and of course included such luminaries as Admiral Byrd, mr. Stefannson, the various Scandinavian polar explorers, Lincoln Ellsworth, etc. ANS 2 No, she was not an explorer in the sense of discovering new places. She was a very enterprising aviatrix.
