METODE ETNOARHEOLOGICE DE CERCETARE

Summary/Abstract: In this study, we addressed some aspects of ethnoarchaeological research methodology. Comparative ethnoarchaeology record change processes of long term, that occurs in the economy, technology and bio-social environment. Another method is to research excavations at sites abandoned. The big advantage of this method is that the researcher interpretations can be put face to face with the oral testimony of the locals. Method landscape archaeology means office work, using a computer and a system scan earth by satellites such as Google Earth. With this program are identified and inventoried "Stanele" highland area of Romania, in order to be analyzed and to reach some conclusions which can help us understand how the mountains were used in Prehistory. Old maps are an information source and a tool in ethnoarchaeology. With the help of experimental archaeology, household items, houses, agriculture are reconstructed, using archaeological and ethnographic information. For shipments ethnoarchaeological need an interdisciplinary team to record the archaeological and ethnographic, carry out excavations, to apply questionnaires. An example of this is the Romanian - English Project for Highland Ethnoarchaeology area. The information collected during this project is entered into an ethnoarchaeological database.
