Ethnoarchaeology is a research approach that involves studying the present-day societies and cultures to gain insights into the behaviors and practices of past societies as reflected in their archaeological record. By examining how modern societies interact with their environment and material culture, ethnoarchaeologists can make inferences about the ways ancient societies might have used and interacted with artifacts and landscapes.

What is the Difference between experimental archaeology and ethnoarchaeology?
Experimental archaeology is performed by archaeologists or other scientists. the questions asked most commonly involve technology, such as how would one produce a specific tool or checking what could a tool be used for by scientific means, such as wear-marks. Ethnoarchaelogy involves watching pre-industrial people and their use of tools. the two methods can be complementary, for example, if a pre-industrial tribe of people uses a tool that resembles something found in the archaeological record, by watching how the tribes people use the tool, the archaeologist can get an idea for how the ancient tool was used and can attempt to verify this idea by scientific examination.
What are the different fields of archaeology?
There are probably thousands. Most archaeologists specialize in one geographic area or one time period, often both!

Which branch of anthropology might study the hunting and gathering techniques of homo sapiens?
The branch of anthropology that might study the hunting and gathering techniques of Homo sapiens is called ethnoarchaeology. Ethnoarchaeology combines ethnographic observations of modern human societies with archaeological methods to better understand past human behavior, including hunting and gathering practices. It aims to study and interpret how contemporary hunter-gatherer groups interact with their environments and use material culture, in order to gain insights into the behaviors and adaptations of our ancestors.
