Discuss how archaeologists reconstruct the past.


Reconstructing past is not an easy process; with the help of archaeologist this could be done.

They execute the sights at which they think that they could discover something related to the culture or civilization of ancient past.


All the remains found in the process of excavation are deeply studied with help of botanists and zoologists.


The findings in the process of excavation maybe related to art and craft, skulls, bones, teeth, x-ray of dead bodies, plants, animal bones, etc.


They try to find out the tools that were used in that era of past for cultivation and harvesting and other means of irrigation.


Different layers of sites are studied to find different things including the social economic condition, religious life, cultural life, and other parts of the life of the people.


On the basis of the remains, they frame their own views which help in reconstructing the past.
