Which of these statements is false? Archaeology is a field within anthropology. Archaeologists and anthropologists are necessary to the historian for information they provide. Archaeologists and anthropologists both study human history. Archaeologists and anthropologists are in totally separate fields and rarely work together.

The statement that is definitely false is

that archaeologists and anthropologists rarely work together - in fact they work together very, very often! The fields are related and many archaeologists see themselves as anthropologists, too. So we can reject the answer

"Archaeologists and anthropologists are in totally separate fields and rarely work together. " (this is the false statement that the question is looking for"

Step-by-step explanation:

They both can concern the past. Anthropology is the understanding of people, in the past, in the instant and as they evolve over time and Archaeology particularly looks at the palpable culture of the past.

Archaeology is a sub field of Anthropology (one of four) so there is no difference. Both involved in the study of culture, though Archaeology concentrates on material culture and usually historical/ancient sites. Anthropology is the study of human culture: how people live and work and what they make.
