We call source what allows us to reconstruct, understand and interpret events that occurred in the past. Written sources: they contain the information in a specific medium (paper, stone, papyrus, parchment, etc.) They can be made by hand (manuscripts) or by machine (prints). Material sources: archaeological remains (excavations, monuments, tombs, human remains, ceramics, textiles, etc.) Oral sources: oral traditions of the peoples who pass their history from generation to generation (legends, myths, stories, songs, etc.)
