Pompeii is very important to the people you mention in many ways (historians), but one of the most popular reasons is because of the artifacts and skeletons that were left behind by the eruption. These artifacts and skeletons helped archaeologists discover the history and secrets of Pompeii, bringing the historians into play.

Why do historians need archaeologists and anthropologists?

Historians need archaeologists to provide physical evidence to support their theories and interpretations about past societies. Anthropologists help historians understand the cultural context of historical events by studying human societies, behaviors, and beliefs. Together, archaeologists and anthropologists provide a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the past.

Historians rely on archaeologists to study ancient America because archaeologists unearth physical evidence such as artifacts, structures, and human remains that provide valuable insights into past civilizations. This material evidence helps historians piece together the complex narratives of ancient societies that may not be documented in written records. By integrating archaeological findings with historical accounts, a more comprehensive understanding of ancient America can be achieved.


Do historians work harder than archaeologists?
