Perhaps the only solution is to marry the fields into an entirely new
discipline where not only do students learn about archaeology and anthropology, but
also history, architectural history and historic preservation.  Applied culture
studies is a broader category that could encompass all these under one
umbrella.  Maybe it is time for the academic fields to change in the face of
practical research instead of history and research for posterity and intellectual
exercise.

Just my two cents.
