4 Stone Hearth

The 24th edition of the 4 Stone Hearth us up at Moneduloides.

The Fourth Stone Hearth is a blog carnival that specializes in anthropology in the widest (American) sense of that word. Here, anthropology is the study of humankind, throughout all times and places, focussing primarily on four lines of research:

  • archaeology
  • socio-cultural anthropology
  • bio-physical anthropology
  • linguistic anthropology

Each one of these subfields is a stone in our hearth.

I must admit a certain fascination for a subject I know very little about. I always feel like I’m peering behind the curtain. It usually makes for a good read.
