Anthropology Do section 2, answer the mask question, and give a short answer to section at the bottom for each cartoon.What can you tell me about the mask? Human and animal features are combined in the face portrayed on the mask. It represents statements about the nature of the individual who wears it in the society. The mask shows the individual’s relationship with society, where he or she came from as well as own place in the natural world (Pfeffer, Georg, Berger & Kattner 83).What is context and why is it important to archaeologists?

Context is linked to how archeologists interpret artifacts in terms of their connection or disconnection to phenomena, which may be construed as either relevant or not relevant. Context is social and is susceptible to analysis by anthropologists. Any archeologist will say that an artifact’s context is as important as its characteristics for revealing information about the past. The importance of context may extend to a research setting whereby archeologists work. Awareness of the context enables public archeologists to recognize the impacts their research have on the communities within which they work, to include community members in the research as equal participants where they can and if opportunity arise and to actively engage in social change through the research (Stottman 141).
