Archeologists are people who mainly focus on physical objects for knowing the history like the bones, pots, baskets, spears, clothing, buildings, and jewelry. Historians on the other hand write history by focusing on the writings of people who wrote firsthand account like letters, speeches, newspapers, diaries, laws, and court cases. These written records cannot be trusted completely all the time. They can be biased as well. Historians should rely on the work of archeologists because they specialize in learning about people who does not write history by their own.
