An anthropologist or archaeologist
Historians learn about the people of ancient times through a combination of archaeological evidence, written records, and artifacts. Excavations of ancient sites uncover tools, structures, and everyday items that provide insights into daily life, culture, and social structures. Additionally, inscriptions, manuscripts, and historical texts offer accounts of events, beliefs, and practices. By analyzing these sources, historians piece together a more comprehensive understanding of ancient societies.
