Problem: While browsing at a neighbor's yard sale, Pilar finds a crate full of old 33 RPM vinyl records by a variety of musical groups that were well known in the 1960s and 70s. Even though she has no first-hand knowledge of the popular culture of that era, and has not read any histories of that period, she is able to infer a number of differences between the musical culture of that time as compared to her own based on the imagery featured on the record covers. Without knowing it, Pilar has begun a process of amateur cultural archaeology by examining the visual features of these artifacts and considering their meanings. What term best describes the type of analysis that she has undertaken?
