The purpose of any lesson is to deliver a concept to a student surrounded by contextualization, which they can then extrapolate and apply to their other observations. The assessment then becomes an analysis of how well they applied the concept to an observation and whether they did so appropriately.
If we take the example of an Astrolabe as a ancient device that remained relatively unchanged until the advent of of the Sextant and modern GPS. A lesson about the these technological innovations can then lead to an assessment that requires students to draw a correlation between a modern piece of technology and it's greater historical context. Even the evolution of e-books from clay tablets could be examined.
