CC Skills Anthropology

The science of human beings; especially the study of human beings in relation to distribution, origin, classification, and relationship of races, physical character, environmental and social relations, and culture.
 * Physical: racial evolution and variation. Uses ecology, genetics, anthropometry (the study of human body measurements esp. on a comparative basis).

Characters with anthropology skill are often employed in diplomatic roles, including field diplomacy supported by military units as one group attempts to win "Hearts and Minds" (see: Human Terrain System).
 * Cultural: the development and function of classical and primitive societies. For effective study, linguistic skill of the culture's language is necessary. The skill, to a great extent, is applied historical sociology, with influence of archaeology and some ethnology (study of the division of human beings into races and their origin, distribution, relations, and characteristics). Indiana Jones, technically, was a cultural anthropologist.

Archaeology
Archaeology is a distinct subset of Anthropology, and the scientific study of material remains (as fossil relics, artifacts, antiquities and monuments) of past human life and activities.

To a great extent, much of the science is in removing the item intact for study (a great challenge), then what to look for and how.

A skill of 15+ will get it out of the ground unbroken, a skill of 30+ will start x-raying and CAT scanning it to delve inside (and be able to figure out what is what).

Most archaeologists will have at 15+ Anthropology skill and least some (10-15 rating points) pottery skill.
