Historical reconstruction
Historical reconstruction is the recreation of past lives, events, and objects of a particular moment in time in the past. As an academic discipline, historical reconstruction is a practice of creating a coherent narrative about the past by analyzing historical data from diverse sources. The whole study of history may be viewed as "an exercise in interpretative historical reconstruction". Historical reconstruction may be used as an educational tool in schools.
Examples of historical reconstruction include experimental archaeology, historical reenactment and living museums.
