Material Culture
► All
►A
objects tell history!
pen with a company
written on it can tell
about where a person
has been and what
they have done.
►A
bullet pulled from a
wall can tell the story
of a struggle, shots
fired (or misfired) and
the gun from which it
was fired. Technical,
yes, but also
HISTORICAL! Think if
that bullet came from
WWII.
