"Historical anthropology" does exist, but yeah, I'm not aware of any books applying it to Salem. (Though my knowledge of Salem is slight, compared to yours.) There really should be one. I consider one of the great virtues of anthropology to be its tendency toward holistic analysis; a (good) study of Salem would necessarily incorporate religious ideology and economics and kinship and gender roles and all the rest of it, rather than picking one hobby-horse to ride off into the sunset.
