Discussion
Subsistance activity of the past and its reconstruction is aimed by which of the following branches ?
Answer: C
The reconstruction of past subsistence activity is the aim of New Archaeology.
New or processual archaeology, associated with Lewis Binford, moved the aim of excavation from describing artefact types to explaining how past people lived, including what they ate and how they organised their food getting. It uses ecology and scientific methods to rebuild subsistence and settlement.
Typo-technology deals with the classification of tools by form and technique. Geo-chronology deals with dating and the age of deposits. Action archaeology is not a branch that is aimed at subsistence reconstruction, so these three are rejected.
