What to Focus On

  • Sources of history help us know about the past.
  • There are two main types: archaeological and literary sources.
  • These sources are like clues for historians and archaeologists.

  • Archaeological sources are physical remains from the past.
  • Archaeologists dig the ground to find these sources.
  • Examples include monuments, inscriptions, artefacts, and coins.

  • Monuments are ancient structures built by people.
  • They give information about society, religion, and technology.
  • Examples: forts, temples, palaces, step-wells.
