Workshop Summary
Who were the Iron Age people and where did they live? Find out about Iron Age hillforts and inhabitants and explore some of the objects we know they used.
In this session students will explore the impressive hillforts and roundhouses that the Ancient Britain's lived in before the Roman invasion. The group will explore this topic through objects, movement, models and archaeological information and begin to consider why we have very few objects from this period.
The main objectives for this workshop are:
- To learn about the key changes in Britain from the Bronze Age, Iron Age through to the Roman Invasion.
- To explore how the Iron Age people lived in Northumberland before Hadrian’s Wall was built
- To handle and identify objects that may have been used during the Iron Age.
This workshop supports the National Curriculum in England History Programmes of Study for KS2: changes in Britain from the Stone Age to the Iron Age
