Elective History

As part of their study of ancient human remains, History Elective students researched what ancient remains can tell us about the lives of the past - their health, culture, beliefs and daily life. As part of their presentation, students created replicas of their ancient remains which included the Siberian Ice Maiden, plaster casts from Pompeii, Tutankhamen, Tollund Man, Otzi, Old Croghan Man, Mungo Man and Yde Girl.  The class also discussed the ethical questions around excavation and display, as well as the importance of respecting cultural heritage.
