AnthropologyPlus is a specialized database. Try typing in one of the analytical methods to see if the search engine recognizes it. If you have too many results, always add the term "archaeological site" to the search.

Use exact phrase searching (in " ") and be sure to connect the search terms with the Boolean operator AND:
If you have synonyms, use OR, always in parentheses:
Multidisciplinary: Works best with Boolean search syntax (AND OR) and with phrases such as "archaeological site."
