Explain to pupils about evidence and the role of an archaeologist. The teachers notes provide additional information on this topic. You may also wish to discuss what evidence from the past still survives today (see worksheet above). Ask pupils to look at the picture of the Anglo-Saxon objects, without any information next to it, and see if they can identify any of the artefacts shown. Then using this information and the other aspects of archaeology discussed ask them to produce a reconstruction drawing of the person who wore these objects. Reinforce the idea that so long as they can explain what they’ve drawn all their drawings are as good as each others - there is no definitive right answer!
