the difference between cognitive archaeology and neuroscience lies in their contrasting approaches. while cognitive archaeologists want to decipher the complex realities of behaviours that shaped stone age tool making, neuroscientists follow recreate real life conditions within laboratories to understand behavioural aspects. neuroarchaeologists may apply neuroscience based discoveries to analyse archaeological findings that may encourage neuroscientists to explore cognitive aspects of the cultural and civilisational interpretations through archaeological material. one may conclude that experimental archaeological approach that seeks to study detailed behavioural processes could prompt a mutually beneficial research if combined with neuroscience but much depends on how well the integration between the two disciplines is that can facilitate the study of complex behaviour in the physical world.
