But you are dismissing the myriad of archaeological situations where a
research design does not touch upon the classic subject-matters of
anthropology. Human knowledge is not confined to anthropology; the
technique and intellectual approach of archaeology can inform all sorts of
disciplines that lie well outside anyone's definition of anthropology.
Archaeological work may be informed by one's training in anthropology
without being an anthropological project.
It is no less archaeology if it answers questions for people who are not
primarily anthropologists. If we follow your logic to its absurd end, we
will find ourselves talking only to anthropologists.
