This resource is designed to support pupils as they compare life in three key periods of prehistory, focusing on how communities developed over time. It introduces important vocabulary such as hunter-gatherers, settlement, trade, barter, archaeology, and tribe, and highlights the shift from nomadic lifestyles to organised settlements like Skara Brae. Pupils explore changes in technology, including the emergence of bronze and iron tools, and learn how trade evolved from bartering to the use of coins. A timeline on page 2 charts key developments from the Palaeolithic through to the Roman invasion, helping pupils understand chronology and historical context.
