An anthropologist and an archaeologist could work together most effectively to answer the question: B. What type of meat do the humans at this site eat and which organisms are in their teeth similar to?

This question involves aspects of both anthropology, which studies human behavior and cultures, and archaeology, which investigates material remains from past societies. Understanding dietary habits would require analyzing skeletal remains (an anthropological perspective) as well as excavating and studying artifacts or biofacts (an archaeological perspective).

The other questions are more specialized:

  • A focuses on physical anthropology (the study of skull structures),
  • C involves geology (dating rocks),
  • D pertains to archaeological dating of tools, which might not necessarily involve anthropological insights.

Thus, B is the most suitable option for collaboration between the two fields.
