Abstract	The need for interdisciplinary education has been brought about by the disintegration of traditional academic boundaries. Presently, for example, archeologists destroy valuable botanical, zoological, and stratigraphic evidence as a result of insufficient multidisciplinary skills. In establishing an interdisciplinary study, the field of anthropology should be the means for coordinating seemingly unrelated studies since this discipline offers the opportunity to explore relationships between the social and biophysical sciences. Such an approach is not meant to replace traditional programs; rather, it is an option which offers new intellectual frontiers. Students seeking an interdisciplinary education should be given all possible assistance. (KC)
