Description - Unearthing the Past An Introduction to Archaeology by Elio E

History is a powerful reminder of all the amazing things people have done. We

use things that happened in the past, which we call "historical facts," to learn

about the past of any country or group of people. These important events are

the building blocks on which we build our knowledge of the past. Most of what

we know about different cultures and people comes from the records they left

behind, which are called "historical sources."Archaeological sources and written

sources are the two main types of history sources. Let's look into what each

branch means and how much information it has to tell us about our distant

past.First of all, archaeological sources are very important for studying history. There

are writings on stones, metal plates, and other artefacts that show how wise

people were in the past. These writings often tell us a lot about the politics,

society, and culture of the time they were made. Even coins are physical relics

because they show how money was spent and how different societies rose and

fell.Structures that are still standing are an important part of historical sources

because they show how good people were at building things and how they lived.

From grand buildings to simple homes, these ruins give us a glimpse into how

our ancestors lived. By looking at their pots, tools, and guns, we can learn more

about how they used technology and made things.The beautiful statues and

interesting drawings that archaeologists have found show how people lived in

the past. They make people, events, and faith practises last forever, capturing

the spirit of a different time. Not only do these works of art show how creative

people were in the past,
