Practicing Success
Archaeologists employ specific methods to investigate potential social or economic disparities among individuals in a given culture. One of these methods involves examining burials. The monumental pyramids of Egypt, some of which were built during the same era as the Harappan civilization, serve as a familiar example. Another approach to discerning social distinctions is the analysis of artifacts, which archaeologists categorize as utilitarian or luxury items. |
