History - How can we know what life was like 1,000 years ago?

Use the Powerpoint presentation below to learn about the discovery of a famous Mayan artefact:

Look at the document below and think about the discovery as a historian. Ask yourself these 3 questions:

• What can I see?
• What can I work out?
• What do I still not know, but could like to find out?

Now look at the Powerpoint presentation below. STOP at slide 2 and try to guess what the Mayan objects were for (ask others at home to have a guess too).

Then move on and you will find out if you were right or not.

Finally, you must make a decision about some Mayan sites.

Budget cuts mean you cannot afford to maintain and study all sites. Look through the presentaion below and do some of your own research. Which site do you think is the most important and therefore should get the funding?
