* Read Bradley, pp. 56. Make a list of the ways archaeological evidence is destroyed, according to Bradley.
* Look at the first two discussion questions from Activity 1.26 (p. 57, Bradley). Discuss these with your class.
* Read pp. 57-58 and write full-sentence answers for the questions of Activity 1.27
* Make sure that you add any new key terms to your glossary, including the four Rs from the English Heritage Policy Statement.
* Look carefully at the images below. Each image links to further information about them.
