Definition: "Coeligenous" is a term used in anthropology and archaeology to describe the indigenous or traditional way of life, culture, and practices that exist within groups or communities. It refers to the social, economic, political, and cultural aspects of an individual's life that are not influenced by external factors such as colonization or modernization. Coeligenous people often live in close contact with each other, share resources, and work together for collective well-being.
