Why is it useful to study literary and archaeological sources together in history writing?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: One source helps understand the other
Literary sources preserve ideas, stories, rules and descriptions, while archaeology provides material evidence such as buildings, tools, pottery and inscriptions. Studying both allows historians to compare claims, fill gaps and identify limitations or biases in each source. Neither source is always false, and one source alone is not sufficient for every question.
