General guidance
The study of the historic environment will focus on a particular site in its historical context and should
examine the relationship between a specific site and the key events, features or developments of the
period. As a result, when teaching a specified site for the historic environment element, it is useful to
think about ways of linking the site to the specified content in Parts 1, 2 and/or 3 of the specification.
There is no requirement to visit the specified site as this element of the course is designed to be
classroom based.
Students will be expected to answer a question that draws on second order concepts of change,
continuity, causation and/or consequence, and to explore them in the context of the specified site
and wider events and developments of the period studied. Students should be able to identify key
features of the specified site and understand their connection to the wider historical context of the
specific historical period. Sites will also illuminate how people lived at the time, how they were
governed and their beliefs and values.
The following aspects of the site should be considered:
• location, function and the structure
• people connected with the site e.g. the designer, originator and occupants
• the design and how the design reflects the culture, values, fashions of the people at the time
• how important events/developments from the depth study are connected to the site.
Students will be expected to understand the ways in which key features and other aspects of the site
are representative of the period studied. In order to do this, students will also need to be aware of
how the key features and other aspects of the site have changed from earlier periods. Students will
also be expected to understand how key features and other aspects may have changed or stayed
the same during the period.
