What type of information do coins provide in archaeology?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Information about economy and rulers
Coins can carry names, portraits, symbols and titles of rulers, while their metal, weight and distribution provide clues about economy, trade and political authority. They cannot by themselves tell us only about weather, cooking or folk songs. Thus coins are valuable material evidence for economic and political history.
