On this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, we delve into the post-Boas anthropological theorists. We begin with an overview of four of Boas’s most well known students: Margaret Mead, Ruth Benedict, Edward Sapir and Alfred Kroeber. We then just focus on the history of archaeological theory beginning with the Culture Historical approach, New Archaeology, and the Post-Processual Critique.
