| Abstract | The article presents a literature review that explores the development, methods and aims of ethnohistory. It furthermore explores the relationship between history and anthropology, the description of the historical trend of the relationship, the definition of ethnohistory and the different theories of ethnohistory. In the light of the historical interest in anthropology that has stimulated both anthropologists and historians, this literature aims to clarify the similarities between the two disciplines. On the other hand, the author proposed that ethnohistory might serve as a means for combining the generalizing aspects of ethnology with the careful evaluation of sources and interest in time sequence of history.
