Answers
HERE IS YR ANS
Material evidences, allows archaeologists to better reconstruct Harappan life.
MATERIAL COULD BE
POttery, tool's
Recovering artefacts is just the beginning of the archaeological enterprise. Archaeologists then classify their finds.
The second, and more complicated, is in terms of function: archaeologists have to decide whether, for instance, an artefact is a tool or an ORNAMENT
An understanding of the function of an artefact is often shaped by its resemblance with present-day things – beads, querns, stone blades and pots are obvious examples

1. Material evidences, allows archaeologists to better reconstruct Harappan life. This material could be pottery, tools, ornaments, household objects, etc.
2. Recovering artefacts is just the beginning of the archaeological enterprise. Archaeologists then classify their finds.
3. The second, and more complicated, is in terms of function: archaeologists have to decide whether, for instance, an artefact is a tool or an ornament, or both, or
something meant for ritual use.
4. An understanding of the function of an artefact is often shaped by its resemblance with present-day things – beads, querns, stone blades and pots are obvious examples.
5. Archaeologists also try to identify the function of an artefact by investigating the context in which it was found
6. The problems of archaeological interpretation are perhaps most evident in attempts to reconstruct religious practices.
7. Attempts have also been made to reconstruct religious beliefs and practices by examining seals, some of which seem to depict ritual scenes. Others, with plant motifs, are thought to indicate nature worship.
8. Many reconstructions of Harappan religion are made on the assumption that later traditions provide parallels with earlier ones. This is because archaeologists often move from the known to the unknown, that is, from the present to the past.
9. Remains of crops, saddle querns or pit are studied to identify food.
10. Archaelogists observe the different layers of site and try to find out different things which give picture of socio-economic conditions, religions and cultural
life of the past people.
