Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start with the artifacts present. Suppose you find an urn. You have to ask yourself what it was for. Was it for water? Was it for flowers? (So it was primary for decorations and gracious living). Was it a burial urn. (So the people living there had respect for the dead.) Did it look like when filled with water, it could be balanced on someone's head?

And that's only an urn. What about a perfume bottle? Wouldn't that be something. People had time to make sex important.

Would it be possible to find a comb? Maybe more recently like in the 1200s.

A knife? That suggests all sorts of things. War if large enough. Hair cutting if not so large or a table utensil.

Almost anything you can think of will add to your knowledge of what the people living there would be like. Where I live, a snow shovel would tell you a lot. Or a thermometer.
