How is modern historical Americanist archaeology different from its prehistoric counterpart?

a. Modern historical archaeology does not have a postprocessual slant to it, addressing humanistic and ideological concerns. b.

Contemporary historical archaeology is not as diverse as the rest of American archaeology. e. Unlike prehistorical archaeology, historical archaeology has changed due to the growing impact of cultural resource management.
