    State any two limitations of inscriptional evidences.

    Answer:

    Inscriptional evidences have been used extensively to know about past through digged out text-books, pillars, structures etc. But there are some limitations to what epigraphy can reveal.
    1. Technical limitations such as letters are very faintly engraved, and thus reconstructions are uncertain. Also, inscriptions may be damaged or letters missing.
    2. It is always not easy to be sure about the exact meaning of the words used in inscriptions, some of which may be specific to a particular place or time.
