Description: Abstract In this paper, we argue that archaeology plays a significant role in promoting history, and the two disciplines complement each other. The study uses archaeological monuments and sites to assess how these can be used to effectively enhance the transmission of history to the public. This paper demonstrates the tremendous value of historical archaeology beyond colonial records as a source of data for the voiceless. Our study concludes that well‐researched and packaged historical and archaeological information is essential to the promotion of the heritage tourism industry as part of the knowledge‐based economy.
