Interdisciplinary Perspective: combining or involving two or more academic disciplines or fields of study/ a technique of depicting volumes and spatial relationships on a flat surface. (Dictioncary.com)

My interpretation of this word is the way our critical thinking class and inquiry class are related.  The topics in both of these classes are similar and can be easily intertwined.  Inquiry class requires a lot of critical thinking and the skills taught in inquiry are used often in inquiry class.  Interdisciplinary perspective can also be observed when a student combines two fields together to create a major.  For example, someone could combine public health and biology to create a pre-medical oriented major.

In archaeology I learned the two terms archaeozoology and archaeobotany.  Archaezoology is the study of materials that answer the question whether animals were hunted or scavenged.  Archaeobotany is the study of the prehistoric use of plants, which includes the contribution of medicinal uses, ritual uses, dietary needs, and a domestication.
