Archaeologists have learned about ancient Greek culture from 3,000 years ago by digging up pots, scrolls, coins, clay tablets, and inscriptions on buildings and monuments. Pots provide information about everyday Greek life through pictures painted on them. Scrolls written on papyrus contained writings on history, politics, philosophy, and literature. Coins and inscriptions on structures have also aided historians in understanding Greek civilization.
