The Culture-History approach

The Culture-History approach is a way of studying human history by looking at the material remains of past societies, such as artifacts, tools, and art, to understand their culture and development over time. Researchers analyze these objects to identify patterns, groupings, and changes that reveal how societies lived, interacted, and evolved. This method emphasizes placing artifacts within specific time periods and geographic contexts to reconstruct historical narratives. It helps us understand how different cultures originated, persisted, or changed, providing a chronological story of human cultural development based on physical evidence.
