In our research we observed and took notes on a bust for its use, was it an artifact who created it. thus bust would be considered a secondary source since it is not the original. For research in general my group used prior knowledge on what we already knew on what this bust was, but we also used google to find scholarly information on everything about it. this type of bust was originally made or created by a German Physiologist Franz Gall in 1796. This bust was primarily used in the early 19th century for usage on phrenology and science of the brain, the bust was later recreated by LN Fowler. the importance of this bust later became outdated and incorrect when later science came in to perspective and prove the information given from the bust to be wrong. This research helped helped me fine tune my search on in making my search more specific.
