Question

What is the major difference between historians and archaeologists?

• A. Historians study and write about history while archaeologists only write about history.
• B. Historians analyse old artefacts and write about them while archaeologists study history.
• C. Historians study and write about history while archaeologists analyse old artefacts.
• D. Both historians and archaeologists study and write about history.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Historians study and write about history while archaeologists analyse old artefacts.

Historians study and write about history, while archaeologists also study history, but they do so, from the physical remains of any old artefacts that are found by digging. Archaeologists may also record their findings somewhere.
