Which of the following is an example of an artifact that a historian might use to reconstruct a Civil War battle? A.a song written about the battle B.an eyewitness account of the battle C.a modern map of the battlefield site D.an unexploded shell found on the battlefield
Eye witness account would be important to a historian, but I would think an unexploded shell would be more of an "artifact".
Answer:
D. an unexploded shell found on the battlefield
Explanation:
An artifact is a human-made object from a historical perspective. Weaponry that used shells would have been used during the time of the Civil War. The Civil War is considered to be a historical event. D is the most logical answer.
