Question

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

Answer 1

D. an unexploded shell found on the battlefield

Step-by-step 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.

Answer 2

Eye witness account would be important to a historian, but I would think an unexploded shell would be more of an "artifact".
