Discuss how archaeologists reconstruct the past.

The archaeologists reconstruct the past through several methods:

1. They perform excavations at different sites and gather the artefacts obtained from those sites.
2. The artefacts are properly studied by the archaeologist which help them in understanding about the customs and traditions of the people inhabiting the site of excavation.
3. The discovery of potteries, seals, construction materials, burial sites and other artefacts provides a great deal of information about the social and cultural history of the civilizations.
4. Apart from this the discovery of the skulls, bones and teeth of the human beings helped in understanding about the physiology of the humans.
