Prehistoric archaeology of the British Isles - 6 lesson course
Prehistoric Archaeology of the British Isles
Delve into the past with local Dr Amber as she introduces you to the prehistory of the British Isles. The course is aimed at anyone who is interested in the archaeology of Britain. It will cover 500,000 years of prehistory from the Palaeolithic to the Iron age, providing you with a grounding in British prehistoric archaeology and the changing ways of life over this vast period.
Lesson 1
The course outline will follow the chronology of prehistory, starting with the Palaeolithic (Old Stone Age) (500,000-10,000 BC). This week will introduce the different hominin species, such as Homo erectus, Neanderthals and Homo sapiens and their use of fire, tools and rock art.
Lesson 2
This week will discuss the changes we see in Britain in the Mesolithic (Middle Stone Age) (10,000-4,000 BC), including the use of microlithic (small) flint tools, the hunter-gatherer lifestyle and rock art. The much-debated change from the Mesolithic to the Neolithic period will also be introduced.
Lesson 3
Week three will discuss the Neolithic (New Stone Age) proper (4,000-2300 BC). This period is seen as the single most important economic transition in British History due to the beginning of farming, large scale trade networks and new ways of burying the dead.
Lesson 4
We will look at the technological changes in the Bronze Age (2300-800 BC) when copper, bronze and gold objects and weapons were first produced. Themes such as violence, the burial of the dead and the deposition of metal hoards will be discussed.
Lesson 5
The final week of the course will discuss the last period of British Prehistory, the Iron Age (800BC-43AD). The Celtic affiliation we often link with this period will be discussed along with the development of iron technology and the use of domestic areas for ritual. The shift into the Roman period will also be introduced to provide a full rounded introduction to British Prehistory.

About Me
I am passionate about teaching and engaging others in my interests and specialisms. My experience teaching primary, secondary, university students and adults has reinforced this. I want to help others reach their full potential.Having recently finished my PhD in Archaeology, I am very aware of university expectations for students and I wish to use this with my teaching experience and geography, history and archaeology knowledge to help others through their studies.
My teaching method is centred around understanding and focus so that my students are able to reflect and engage with their learning. I engage my students with frequent questions and discussions to reveal their understanding of the topic and shape my lesson around their progress.
I also believe that it is important to use mixed media when teaching and break up the lessons by changing the teaching techniques.
For instance, a lesson may begin with an introductory statement and discussion with the pupil about the topic, this would be followed by a PowerPoint presentation. To renew the student's focus and concentration an activity, such as a quiz or game, will follow. After which, the lesson can continue with greater focus.

Serbian language classes for foreign people with MajaSerbian is a rich and expressive language with deep cultural roots. It uses both Cyrillic and Latin alphabets and is phonetic, meaning words are pronounced just as they’re written – a big plus for learners!
Here’s why learning Serbian is a great idea:
Cultural Access – Understand Serbian literature, music, and film in their original form.
Travel and Connection – Connect more deeply with locals when visiting Serbia or the Balkans.
Gateway Language – It helps in learning other Slavic languages like Croatian, Bosnian, or Russian.
Unique Skill – Fewer people learn Serbian, so it stands out in business, diplomacy, or academia.
Serbian isn’t just a language – it’s a doorway to a rich world of tradition, humor, and human connection.

understand the unique blend of African, European, Indigenous, and sometimes Asian cultures,
that formed a novel, “creole” society. While special focus will be given to French Creole
communities, students will also become acquainted with a broader definition of Creole that can
be applied to Hispanic, Anglophone Caribbean, and Dutch Caribbean territories. At the end of
this course, students will confidently recognize Creole communities worldwide and will be able
to explain the history of creolization.
