Find out all about the first Britons, nomadic hunter-gatherers who came
from mainland Europe to settle in England bringing wooden spears, flint
handaxes and animals with them.
Stone Age to Iron Age tells the story of how these people settled and
began farming the land. They built villages of timber and stone houses
such as Skara Brae on Orkney. Stonehenge is perhaps the most famous
monument of this period, a technological marvel of the time built by
raising over 80 blue stones to create the 'henge'.
The Bronze Age bought with it metalworking using copper, tin and gold to
make tools and beautiful everyday objects. The Iron Age was known for
its hill forts, farming and art and culture.
Contains maps, paintings, artefacts and photographs to show how early
Britons lived.
Ideally suited for readers age 8+ or teachers who are looking for books
