So, it is really a part of the study of history. However, most historians use paper evidence,

2、 such as letters, paintings and photographs, but archaeologists (考古学家) learn from the objects left behind by the humans of long ago.

21、tities and sold at 65 cents per box of 200. People like these facial tissues immediately and began asking for them when they went into different stores.
