Read the texts Life in York. …people looked as we looked now. Both men and women wore jewellery and bright clothes – red, yellow, blue, purple and green. Men wore shirts, tunics and trousers. Women wore long dresses. They lived in small houses. There were not much furniture, only a bed, a table, stools and shelves. The fireplace was the centre of family life. They didn’t often go to the market. They ate porridge and apples. They collected blackberries and nuts. Beef was the most important food. Freshwater fish was very popular. People were not rich and they worked a lot. But they found time to relax. They liked to sing and dance and play musical instruments… Life in Anastasievo. The houses were small. They had thatched roofs. Log-houses were made of wood and decorated with wood carving in Anastasievo. The constructions of a house had been started with a stone stove. It was used for warming, cooking dinner and sleeping in cold seasons. Each house had got wooden and loam tableware. There was a table, benches, a chest for clothes, a locker for utensils, icons in the “red corner”, a plank bed or “palaty”. Each house had got some additional constructions like “seny”, “svetyolka”, “podpol”. …women wore a long skirt, a blouse, an apron, a shawl. Men wore broad trousers and a shirt. Both men and women wore boast shoes or “lapty”, they wore “valenky” in winter.
