FOOD

The Stone Age ate food such as… eggs, fruit, nuts, grapes, fish, stinging nettles and plants.

They had hunters, fishermen and gatherers who went to collect their food instead of growing it. They hunted, fished and gathered, sometimes for a sweet treat they went and got honey from beehives!

Men, women and children who lived by the rivers and sea tended to go fishing, but later on caught eels, crabs and lobsters. Eventually they learnt to grow their own crops and became the first farmers!

RULES!IN THE COMMUNITY IN THE FAMILY

One of the rules in the community of a stone age settlement was… only the leader of the tribe could organise the meetings in the meeting place. Only men and young boys could talk in the meeting place. The Stone Age believed in revenge, so if you cut someone then they would have to cut you, but no harder than they had done to you!

In the households of the stone age there were rules. Such as, if the man in your home left your house during a meal time then you wouldn’t be able to carry on eating.

Do you follow the rules?!

A village and a landmark! SKARA BRAE STONEHENGE

Stonehenge is a famous landmark in Wiltshire, England. 2 miles west of Amesbury and 8 miles north of Salisbury. No one actually knows when Stonehenge was built! It has been suggested that Stonehenge was used as a religious temple.

Skara Brae is an old stone age settlement in Northern Scotland in a place called Orkney, as it is based on the coast the weather is not very pleasant. It is mostly windy, rainy and stormy! It was built in 3100 BC around 5,000 years ago! The people of Skara wore animal skins during cold seasons to keep themselves warm.
