EVEN MORE PRESERVED HUMANS

INTRO

There are thousands of preserved human remains that have been found around the world.

You have already had a look at some of the most famous ones and some of the more well known bog bodies

Today you are going to take a closer look at other remains that have been preserved.

TASK

Your task is to look at the preserved humans in this power point and choose one that you would like to know more about.

Choose one that is different from the person next to you, so you can eventually share information about different remains.

The information you gather today will help you towards your assessment – which you will get later this week.

Once you have chosen your person, begin your research.

You will need to find out the following things: Where are they? How were they preserved? When did they die? How did they die? How were they found? What were they found with? How were they excavated?

The most important thing you need to find out, and one that you will have to answer in your own words is:

WHAT DOES THIS PERSON AND THEIR BELONGINGS, SHOW US ABOUT THE SOCIETY THAT THEY CAME FROM?

In order for me to guarantee that you are not just copying and pasting off the internet, please present your research as answers to the following questions:

Describe the mummification of your preserved human remain (5 marks)Explain the excavation process of your remains (5 marks)Explain the importance of this find (8 marks)

You really only need to spend one lesson of the double today doing this research, you will have more time later to finish off the questions.

For the second lesson of the double, you are going to be watching a video on The Siberian Ice Maiden.

While watching this video, you need to be answering the same questions.
