What evidence will we leave behind about our beliefs?
	In most medieval towns and villages there would have been a grand, well-built, highly-decorated church, cathedral or abbey, while all other buildings would have been less significant. But is that the case today? If an archaeologist from the year 3,000 AD uncovered your town which say, like Pompeii, had been buried and preserved in an instant, what could s/he deduce about our beliefs? Which buildings dominate? Banks? Shops? Sport centres…? Rather than icons and wayside crucifixes, what would the pervading advertising hoardings have to say about our values?
	Pupils could draw up a list of the buildings and objects that they consider would best describe their beliefs and interests to future generations, with a note on why they are important. This lists could also be the basis for a (sensitively handled) comparison and discussion.
