  1. The Iron Age of the British Isles covers the period from about 800 BC to the Roman invasion of 43 AD, and follows on from the Bronze Age.

    As the name implies, the Iron Age saw the gradual introduction of iron working technology, although the general adoption of iron artefacts did not become widespread until after 500-400 BC.

    As the Iron Age progressed through the first millennium BC, strong regional groupings emerged, reflected in styles of pottery, metal objects and settlement types. In some areas, 'tribal' states and kingdoms developed by the end of the first century BC.

  4. The Iron age is the period right after the Bronze age which makes the Iron age the last period.The Iron age was the time when they used iron and steel.It was much easier in the Iron age than the Stone and Iron age because when they made weapons in the Iron age if they made a mistake when making a weapon they could still make the weapon because they could get rid of the mistake and in the Bronze and Stone age they would have to make another one.The Iron age lasted the shortest amount of time.

  5. The Iron Age was a time in early human history when people began to use tools and weapons made of Iron. The earliest Iron Age probably took place in the Middle East and south east of Europe. It started there in about 1200 BC. The knowledge of how to get iron from rock and how to make iron tools spread quickly from the Middle East to Egypt and Greece. The Iron Age eventually spread as far as West Africa, northern Europe, India, and East Asia. The use of iron brought important changes to people's lives. People used iron to make strong tools, which made farming easier. They also made iron swords and other weapons. Huge armies of soldiers soon carried iron weapons. These weapons made an army much harder to defeat. Armies travelled to other lands and took over places they liked.

    People built large forts and bridges. Pottery and weaving improved. Humans dug deep mines in the ground to find salt and other valuable minerals.

    Key events:
    1. 700BC first Iron Age hill forts constructed.
    2. 330BC first recorded exploration of the British Isles.
    3. 200BC decorative objects like jewelry start being made.
    4. 150BC metal coins are being used for the first time.
    5. 150BC Iron Age settlements start appearing.

  8. The Iron Age existed 800 years ago in Brittan to 750BC to 43AD.At the end of the Iron Age they discovered poetry. Their main focus on making a house was to keep the fire on 24/7 to keep warm and for their food. They would wear Strabo we have found evidence from archaeologists. Farming played such an important role in the Iron Age that there would be festival on 1st of May and 1st of January.

  10. Iron Age
    Iron replaces bronze as most useful metal. Most people of Iron Age were farmers, merchants or craftspeople.
    The Population was 150,000
    This is the name given to the time period where iron became the preferred choice of metal for making tools. In Britain the end of the Iron Age is linked to the spread of Roman culture following the Roman invasion of 43 AD.

  14. Iron Age, period in the development of industry that begins with the general use of iron and continues into modern times. In Asia, Egypt, and Europe it was preceded by the Bronze Age. It did not begin in the Americas until the coming of the Europeans. Iron beads were worn in Egypt as early as 4000 BC, but these were of meteoric iron, evidently shaped by the rubbing process used in shaping implements of stone. The oldest known article of iron shaped by hammering is a dagger found in Egypt that was made before 1350 BC This dagger is believed not to have been made in Egypt but to be of Hittite workmanship. The use of smelted iron ornaments and ceremonial weapons became common during the period extending from 1900 to 1400 BC About this time, the invention of tempering (see forging) was made by the Chalybes of the Hittite empire. It is possible that the Hittite kings kept ironworking techniques secret and restricted export of iron weapons. After the downfall of the Hittite empire in 1200 BC, the great waves of migrants spreading through S Europe and the Middle East insured the rapid transmission of iron technology. In Europe knowledge of iron smelting was acquired in Greece and the Balkans, and somewhat later in N Italy (see Etruscan civilization; Villanovan culture) and central Europe. The Early Iron Age in central Europe, dating from c.800 BC to c.500 BC, is known as the Hallstatt period. Celtic migrations, beginning in the 5th cent. BC, spread the use of iron into W Europe and to the British Isles. The Late Iron Age in Europe, which is dated from this period, is called La Tène. The casting of iron did not become technically useful until the Industrial Revolution. The people of the Iron Age developed the basic economic innovations of the Bronze Age and laid the foundations for feudal organization. They utilized the crops and domesticated animals introduced earlier from the Middle East. Ox-drawn plows and wheeled vehicles acquired a new importance and changed the agricultural patterns. For the first time humans were able to exploit efficiently the temperate forests. Villages were fortified, warfare was conducted on horseback and in horse-drawn chariots, and alphabetic writing based on the Phoenician script became widespread. Distinctive art styles in metal, pottery, and stone characterized many Iron Age cultures. Iron age people used iron than any other material.

  15. The period known as Iron age lasted in Britain for about 800 years ago (from 750 BC to 43 AD).
    Due to differences in climates, geographical and topographical, people lived in Iron age period
    they changed their life style by using things made out of irons and metals.
    They use coins to buy and sell their goods.
    They plough their fields with iron tools.
    They weave their clothes using animals furs to keep them warm.

    Most Iron Age celts lived in a round houses with just one big room. Inside a round house we might
    have found...
    * a loom for weaving cloth,
    * a hearth in the middle for heat, light, cooking, and smopking foods,
    * a dome-shaped oven for baking bread,
    * a beds with hay mattressesand a woolen blankets,
    * a baskets for storing foods and their belongings.

    The Iron Age celts were farmers and would like to spend a lot of their day looking crops and live stocks.
    * They grew wheat, barley, rye, and oats in small fields.
    * They kept cattle and sheep to provide mannure, wool or hide and food.
