From the very earliest records of sociological and anthropological observations, much is taken for granted or glossed over and not actually verified.

In-Situ Sociological Studies

From the very earliest records of sociological and anthropological observations, much is taken for granted or glossed over and not actually verified. Making individuals produce tools without circular dependencies is an exacting process and requires substantial effort on the part of the studied people. This includes Margaret Mead and her study Coming of Age in Samoa.

Synthetic Micro Environments

This strategy "brings the mountain to Mohammed". Rather than having the sociologist or archaeologist go to the source, the environment to be studied is recreated in a more convenient place, and experiments are done within it.

Experimental Archaeology

Experiments with various technical scopes and time scales have been carried out in academia.

Iron Age n/a Butser Ancient Farm[2] Hampshire,United Kingdom
Viking 10 Roskilde Viking Ship Museum[3] longship builds[4] Aarhus, Denmark

Participatory

While there are vast numbers of historically themed venues oriented toward visitors (Rennaisance Fairs in the US and UK, Park Asterix in France, etc.) there are also hybrid set tings where education and research are carried out in tandem with the profit making enterprise. Some of these include:

15th Century Dozens Guedelon Castle [5] Burgundy, FR
18th Century One Hundred Colonial Williamsburg [6] Virginia, USA
18th and 19th Centuries One Hundred Old Sturbridge Village [7] Connecticut, USA

Documentary Entertainment

More recently the television industry has created programming involving specially prepared closed environments based on a historic or hypothetical premise, in which the partici pants or volunteers live for the duration of the production.
