Next week we will be looking at the Iron
Age and thinking about how their lives were different to life in 2016. What can
you find out about Iron Age life? Write a comment on your class blog.
The Iron Age came after the Bronze Age. They call the Iron Age the Iron Age because instead of using metal they used iron to create tools. Iron was much better than bronze and was easier to sharpen and create tools. The Iron Age was famous for its hunting dogs. Coinage was first made in Britain around 100 BC. Coins were made of gold, silver and bronze. Iron Age Britons ate porridge made out of barley and rye.
The Iron age was very different from now because we eat porridge with oats not barley and rye. Also we don't hunt any more for food we keep them in farm instead of looking for the animals in the woods. Now we have technology so we can text or email but before, in the Iron Age we just had people and letters.
The Iron age is after the Bronze age.in the iron age they started to use Iron and Steel. The Iron age started from 1300BCE to 700 BCE. The Iron age is the third period in the world. The development of letters was in the Iron age. by Revanth
The Iron Age lasted for about 800 years (750BCE~43ADE) and occurred after the Bronze Age. It is named so because people had stopped using stone tools and started to use iron tools instead.
Initially, people had constantly moved around, but in the Iron Age, they began to settle down in one place for a longer amount of time. Jewellery became popular around 200BCE and after 50 years metal coins were used for the first time ever.
The Iron Age is different from 2016 because we have modern technology, but they wouldn't have had any electronic devices. We have warm coats whereas they would only have had animal hides to wrap around themselves. They would have eaten nuts, berries, meat, fish, and edible plants, but we have have a varied diet such as cereal, pasta, pizza and chocolate. They would also have had to catch their own food, but we can buy our meals from local shops.
Like Tabby said the Iron Age came after the Bronze Age. Iron is good to use because you can make tools and it is easy to sharpen as well. The Iron Age is the period generally occurring after the Bronze Age, marked by the prevalent use of iron. Iron production is known to have taken place in Anatolia at least as early as 1200 BC, with some contemporary archaeological evidence pointing to earlier dates.
The early period of the age is characterized by the widespread use of iron or steel. The adoption of these materials coincided with other changes in society, including differing agricultural practices, religious beliefs and artistic styles.
The iron age had come after the bronze Age. The stone Age was in the Neolithic period. In the iron age you would usually use iron to make weapons because when they discovered iron then they stopped making there weapons out of stone and started using iron. know in 2016 w don't use stone or steel for all of our weapons. The People in the stone age would usually eat porridge,bread,vegetables,wheat and barley,beer and sometimes beans but today we have much more types of food.Also today we would be playing on phones and you would also be drawing pictures. But in the stone age they didn't have any technology and to draw pictures they would use berries to draw on there walls.
In the stone everyone would be living in cave's. But now we would live in a giant house with TV's and giant bed room's. The only fun thing to do in the stone age was to do some cave drawing's. In the stone age your dad would be out hunting while your mum would be searching for berries. Usually when you got home your dad would be sharpening his weapons with a large round rock.
The period known as the Iron Age lasted in Britain for about 800 years (from c.750 BC to AD 43). Many significant evolutionary changes and technological innovations occurred during this time - coinage was been introduced, wheel thrown pottery was made, there was an increased interest in personal appearance, people had started to live in larger and more settled communities, and the mortuary rites of society changed.
Lifestyle
A typical settlement would be made up of individual houses of stone with garden plots, clustered along a street. In central southern Britain in about the sixth century, hillforts - large bank and ditch enclosures in significant positions in the landscape - began to be built. These enclosures were densely occupied, with circular houses and roads. In Wessex, the typical building on a settlement would have been the large roundhouse. All of the domestic life would have occurred within this. The main focus of the interior of the house was the central open-hearth fire. This was the heart of the house - it provided cooked food, warmth and light. Because of its importance within the domestic sphere, the fire would have been maintained all day. The basic, hand-made cooking pots from the local clay would come in varying rounded shapes. As for eating, bread would have been an important part of any meal, and was made from wheat and barley ground down into flour using a quern-stone. The barley and rye could also have been made into a kind of porridge. The interior of the house was an ideal place for the drying and preservation of food. Smoke and heat from the constant fire would have smoked meat and fish, and would have dried herbs and other plants perfectly. Salt was another means of preserving meat for the cold winter months, but this was a commodity that could not be made at a typical settlement and was therefore traded.
Agriculture
Agriculture was an important part of Iron Age life. There were many small farmsteads, in which farmers would produce and raise livestock. They would produce enough to sustain themselves, and a little surplus to barter for commodities they could not provide for themselves. Many of these small farmsteads, such as at Farley Mount in Hampshire, were surrounded by linear ditch systems that formed small rectangular fields, radiating out from the farm itself. Carbonised grains and pollen show that wheat, barley, rye and oats were grown in these fields. Harvested crops were stored in granaries- large, bell-shaped structures dug in the ground. Cattle, sheep and pigs would have helped the family, not only by doing heavy labour, such as pulling a plough, but also as a valuable form of manure, wool or hide, and food products. Farmers would also have had horses and dogs. Horses were used for pulling two or four wheeled vehicles, while dogs would have helped her livestock and in hunting. Britain also exported them throughout the Roman empire.

The Iron Age. The Age of the discovery of Iron. It was after the Stone and Bronze Age. The age of a new material that takes life to the next level. The year 2016 consists of video games, computers, robots etc. But the Iron Age is totally different. For a start, no one frequently goes to wars like the Iron Age, and no one does hand – hand combat any more. In the Iron Age, the United Kingdom was split up into many kingdoms and all the people from each kingdom attacked for other’s land and money. In the Iron Age, people painted their whole body navy blue and went wild when charging in the battlefield. You don’t normally see that today, don’t you? Another big change are houses. A modern house today is made of brick with cement put on top. In the Iron Age, it was completely different. A tribe consisted of 20 – 25 one-floor houses. They were about 20 meters in length and 5 – 6 meters in width. The walls were made of daub (straw and mud) and there was a straw roof at the top. The people living in the Iron Age didn’t have an indoor toilet. They had an outdoor shelter with a hole in the ground to do their business. After they were done they used leaves to clean their posterior. To stop the toilet from smelling, they used herbs to stop the foul scent. Another difference is food. The people living in the Iron Age didn’t have pizza or fish and chips for dinner. They ate foods like: Berries, Onions, Cabbage, Deer, Pig, Cattle, Other types of Meat The people living in the Iron Age had to hunt for food, not go to Tesco or ASDA. The hunters would go into the woods and stalk prey using their sharp iron tools. Iron was good as it was cheaper than Bronze and more effective than it as well. The hunters would then return back at sunset. Finally what could be a better defense than a nice, tall hill? It’s hard enough climbing up one of those. But it’s even harder with swords. In conclusion, I believe that the Iron Age is different to now. But the Iron Age are good at things we aren’t and we are good at things they aren’t. But after all they are our ancestors.

many people use to live in hill forts and. People learned how to use iron iron age farmers had croops and vegetables.
