History 2A

 In this exercise, you will be presented with a picture of a human burial, sometimes with accompanying artifacts.  Please interpret this event and these objects and try to write a brief account (one page maximum, double-spaced). What type of person was in the tomb? What was their gender, class, or occupation?  Under what circumstances did they die? Why were objects included or arranged with the burial in a certain way? Try to think like an archaeologist, which means give a creative interpretation, but base yourself on the facts at hand, and on other analogous cases that you know of.
