| Abstract | ||
| Ethno-archaeology is the study of the present to reveal facts of the past. Observation of the living societies and behavior can explain archaeological records as it provides an archaeological engagement with the living communities. Ethno-archaeology can include approach of archaeology and anthropology to understand the past and present cultures. It aims to better understanding of ancient founds and systems. Therefore, it's known also as "Archaeology of the present" or "action archaeology". By previous actions, Ethno-archaeology creates a live link between human and their heritage. Ethno archaeology can be precisely described as a strategic research that includes several processes to reveal the relation between materials and cultures in both forms: existing form and archaeological record and make use of such understanding in supporting archaeological theories and enhance interpretation. | ||
