Archaeologists and historians have an important role in helping us to understand what life was like in Anglo-Saxon Britain. It also helps us to understand how the Anglo-Saxons shaped the world in which we live today.
Looking at artefacts and forming conclusions about life in Anglo-Saxon Britain is important because:
- We can learn from the success and mistakes of the people.
- We can develop and refine new forms of art and technology by examining how and why things were done in the Anglo-Saxon times.
- It can help us to develop a sense of perspective and belonging as we understand our place in the chronology of British history.
- It can help us to develop a sense of perspective and belonging as we understand our place in the chronology of British history.
- We can examine the relationships and interactions between Anglo-Saxon groups and societies and compare and contrast them with how we live today.
Y5 have been carrying out some research of their own about some of the artefacts and culture of the Anglo-Saxons.
