ALL DUE CREDIT HERE: I’ve added to and modified PPT by TES SECONDARY TEAM (which they in turn adapted from alainchristian’s on TES Connect). Isn't sharing ideas and borrowing from others what us teachers do anyway? I’ve added more slides and information and adjusted some sections. I’ve also added a 'trick' question to test if students really know the definition of an anachronism; the photo is certainly something you don't see everyday. Also added- accompanying worksheet and another file with some useful video URLs (hyperlinks removed as per TES requirements) for examples of anachronisms.

Akrotiri on ancient Thera (Santorini)

(0)
Study of the site of Akrotiri on the ancient island of Thera (modern-day Santorini)is one of the "Site Study" options in Yr 11. Attached are a range of resources including programs, syllabus information and tutorials and activities. A fascinating topic due to the island's cataclysmic destruction by volcano, which makes it an excellent foundation for the Yr 12 core "Cities of Vesuvius". Links also to "Atlantis" myth. Also fascinating because of Thera's contact and probable links with the Minoans and Egypt. Lots of ethical issues too because of the nature of 'restoration' of the site.
