Abstract

Ethno archaeology is a branch of archaeology developed in Western world and ethno archaeologist began to use ethnographic parallels for explaining archaeological evidences from 1950’s onwards. Ethnoarchaeology essentially involves archaeologists living with peoples still generating the sort of residues found in the archaeological record and then using their modern data to suggest how things may have happened in the past.
