-applied anthropology: applying anthropology and archaeological threes and techniques
-4 main subfields: cultural or social, anthropology; linguistic anthropology; archeology; and physical or biological, anthropology
-cultural anthropology: study of global patterns of belief and behavior found in human cultures in the past and present
-ethnographies: detailed descriptive studies of human societies. Study of non-western society
-subsistence strategies: activities and behavioral patterns aimed at obtaining food. Hunting, gathering wild plant foods, agriculture and raising domesticated animals for meat and other products
