"Historical documents
are
documents that contain important information about a
person, place, or event. Most famous historical
documents are either laws, accounts of battles (often
given by the victors or persons sharing their
viewpoint), and the exploits of the powerful. Though
these documents are of historical interest, they do not
detail the daily lives of ordinary people, or the way
society functioned.
Anthropologists,
historians and
archeologists, generally are more interested in
documents that describe the day-to-day lives of ordinary
people, indicating what they ate, their interaction with
other members of their households and social groups, and
their states of mind. It is this
information that allows them to try and understand
and describe the way society was functioning at any
particular time in
history".. Source:
