Comparing and contrasting Bronze Age and Iron Age Britain

Settlements were often very different e.g. Bronze Age farming communities vs Iron Age hillforts. Wattle and daub roundhouses occurred in both; farming tools were used in both but were more effective in the Iron Age. Art styles changed from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age but metalworking was important in both periods. Conflict between groups of people seems to have become more common in the Iron Age as distinct tribes developed. A good description of the similarities and differences will use knowledge from across this unit.
