History chpater 9
answer in detail
what method should be followed while studying material source ?
Solution:
The historical sources are mainly three kinds,
(a) Oral Sources: Folk tales etc.
(b) Written Sources: Vedas, Upanishads, etc.
(c) Material Sources: Such as Artefacts, Archaeological findings, etc.
In material sources first, we try to depict the age of the material with the help of carbon dating. After that, we will try to identify the morphological characters regarding the materials such as the physicality of the object. All these practices will lead to human interventions with objects. After that, we will attach historical data for further analysis.
