HISTORY

National Curriculum:

changes in Britain from the Stone Age to the Iron Age

 

Hunting and gathering freeze frame, discussions

What was lifelike in the Paleolithic and Mesolithic?  Early humans started using stone for tools and weapons. They also used stones to light fires. Early people were hunter gatherers. They would hunt animals to eat such as woolly mammoths, reindeers and woolly rhinoceros, caught fish and  gathered fruits and berries when they could. Early humans used the animal’s woolly coat to keep them warm in the winter and they would use animal horns as tools, weapons or even to help clear snow out of their path. People during this time built temporary homes so that they could move quickly to follow the animals and continue to hunt.  

What key changes took place from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age?  During the Neolithic Stone Age, people started to settle and not follow animals. They would plant the seeds from the plants they gathered and looked after them so that they would grow and use stone and bone tools to cut the plants, so that they could turn them into food and eat them.  (Agriculture) People also captured smaller animals such as dogs, pigs and sheep. They looked after them so that they would have babies. This meant that they would have bigger groups of animals near their homes that they could milk, skin for hides/fur and kill for meat/bone for food and tools (farming)Stonehenge- They used this to help them determine the seasons and it is believed people worshipped the sun  

How did daily life change from the Stone Age to the Iron Age?  People in the Bronze Age and Iron Age lived in roundhouses.  In the Iron Age, these houses were sometimes rectangular and were often gathered in farming communities on hills. These were known as ‘hillforts.  Art/culture
