The question that an anthropologist and archaeologist could work together to help answer is:

2. What tools were found and how old are they?

This question involves both archaeological work (excavating and analyzing the tools found at the site) and anthropological work (understanding the significance and use of those tools within the context of the ancient society). An archaeologist would focus on the artifacts and their dating, while an anthropologist would explore the cultural implications and the behaviors associated with the use of those tools.
