| Review | "The crucial interplay between new technologies and traditional approaches to anthropology necesitates innovative approaches that promote the emergence of new and alternate views. Beyond the bones: engaging with disparate datasets fills an emerging niche, providing a forum in which anthropology students and scholars wrestle with the fundamental possibilities and limitations in uniting multiple lines of evidence. This text demonstrates the importance of a multi-faceted approach to research design and data collection and provides concrete examples of research questions, designs, and results that are produced through the integration of different methods, providing guidance for future researchers and fostering the creation of constructive discourse." |
