| dc.description.abstract | Historical reconstruction owes much of its contents and structure to the quantity and quality of the sources from which it derives. No matter the size and availability of sources. They cannot (each) produce a historical document independently. All sources are complementary and inter-dependent. It is the conviction of this paper that archaeology and oral tradition are two of such sources of history which c&n co-operate for the purpose of objective historical reconstruction. In this effort, a well-coordinated survey based on a carefully planned questionnaire was administered across some selected categories in both rural and urban setting. When the findings were corroborated with the archaeological evidence, a balance reconstruction emerged. Thus, the fact remains that no single source is complete in itself. There is the need for unity of sources to produce a fair historical document. | en_US |
