Children consider the range of evidence available for building up a picture of what a 1930s home would have looked like. They set-dress the 1930s house with artefacts, considering continuity and change along the way. This sesion can be modified to represent a wartime or 1940s home. Pictures, photographs and story telling are also used as part of this session to complement the material available for handling. The session includes a slide talk considering evidence found at an archaeological site and close investigation of real and replica material from the Roman and Anglo-Saxon period.
Emphasis is on looking for clues, sorting and documentation of material and building up hypotheses.
