What is one way that historians can establish the authenticity of a primary source?

~by comparing the source to other established sources from that time period
~by conducting endless chemical tests on the source to establish its reliability
~by relying on the claims of the archaeologist who discovered the primary source
~by relying on information provided on personal blogs or government websites

I believe by doing a chemical test will be the best option because you are actually testing if it is authentic.
