Identifying the Archaeology of Prehistoric Britain (Wednesday 11am - 1pm)Info Location Contact More Info Event Information
DescriptionThis module will provide an introduction to prehistoric Britain by examining significant points in the development of early human societies, including the earliest appearance of Homo sapiens, and the introduction of agriculture and metal working. Case studies will be used to explore the changing landscapes, mortuary practices and settlement evidence from almost one million years ago to the end of the Iron Age and the coming of the Romans. It explores the movements of people, objects and practices that shaped British prehistory. From the lives of Ice Age hunter-gatherers, to the monuments built by the first farmers, the spectacular burials of the Bronze Age and the art of the ‘Celts’, this unit examines the rich variety of evidence which can be used to reconstruct aspects of life and death in prehistory, including diet, mortuary and ceremonial practice, material culture, technological innovation, houses, settlements and landscapes. The module will introduce a broad range of archaeological sites and finds and will outline some of the key ways in which these have been interpreted.
