Anthropologists don't dig up bodies. That's archaeologists. Or is that the joke? 🤔

Archaeology is essentially conducting anthropology (or, history) via the study of past artifacts. I do think Norm here was conflating the two. Whether through actual ignorance or just artistic license... hard to tell.

Except archaeology is a subfield (1 of 4) of Anthropology so it's really not a mistake.
