ANTHROPOLOGY Behavioral and Social Sciences Survey 1970

From www.eric.ed.gov: Abstract: This book is one of a series prepared in connection with the Survey of Behavioral and Social Sciences (BASS) conducted between 1967 and 1969. The primary goal of the report is to provide a balanced statement of the past accomplishments, present status, and future prospects of anthropology. Although selective, the report attempts a great deal:

1) Suggests the scope of the discipline by illustrating what some anthropologists have done

2) Indicates the history and major accomplishments of each of the principal subfields

3) Describes the interrelationships of these subfields and the interlocking interests of anthropology and tangent disciplines

4) Surveys current and anticipated personnel and facilities needs

5) Projects in a tentative manner anthropology's probable development over the coming few years

6) Formulates a series of recommendations to improve the discipline and increase its usefulness in applied contexts.

In addition to the editors, members of the Anthropology Panel of the BASS include: Stephen Boggs, Elizabeth Colson, Eugene Giles, Dell Humes, Douglas Schwartz, and Sherwood Washburn. (Author/JLB)
