The name 'Iron Age' comes from the
discovery of a new metal called iron.

How do we know information
about the Celts?
Archaeologists are always
trying to find evidence but
sometimes it gets found
accidently. Some
workmen came across a
body. The man had been
killed 2000 years ago –
they still found food in his
stomach! His last meal
was bread.
![Page 6: The Celtsmissbecksclass.weebly.com/uploads/2/3/.../the_celts... · The Celts • Group of people loosely tied by similar language, religion and cultural expression • No central](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022040809/5e4f36fede17f8266e16d1c5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Unfortunately,
evidence such as
clothes, pots and shoes
are rarely found as
they rot in the soil.
Things made out of
stone and metal don't
rot so they tell us
information.
The Celts didn't read
and write. It was the
Romans that told us in
books how the Celts
lived.

The Celts
The Celts lived across
most of Europe during
the Iron Age.
People had lived in
Britain for thousands
of years before the
Romans arrived.
The Celts lived in
roundhouses with
thatched roofs.
![Page 8: The Celtsmissbecksclass.weebly.com/uploads/2/3/.../the_celts... · The Celts • Group of people loosely tied by similar language, religion and cultural expression • No central](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022040809/5e4f36fede17f8266e16d1c5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
In the North of Britain
they used large stones
and clay to make the
walls.
This is a roundhouse
being built. There are
poles to hold up the
thatched roof.
The settlements are
protected by a stone
wall with wood.

The SettlementsFamilies lived together
in settlements:
children, parents,
grandparents, aunts,
uncles and cousins.
The roundhouses were
built in groups. The
walls protected them
from wolves and wild
boar.
Sometimes groups of
houses were built on
the top of hills. These
were called hill-forts.
