Read a paragraph about the Celtic people of that time and explain the following facts:

Homo erectus * the Iberian Peninsula * the Beaker culture people * large mammals * sea level * Norfolk and Suffolk * Neolithic monuments

The discovery of Homo erectus remains was made in what is today Norfolk and Suffolk. Modern humans first arrived in the area around 35,000 years ago. Only large mammals such as mammoths, bison and woolly rhinoceros remained.

Roughly 11,000 years ago, when the ice sheets began to recede, humans repopulated the area; genetic research suggests they came from the northern part of the Iberian Peninsula. The sea level was lower than now, and Britain was connected by land to both Ireland and Eurasia. As the seas rose, it was separated from Ireland 9,000 years ago and from Eurasia half a century later.

By heating together tin and copper, both of which were in abundance in the area, the Beaker culture people were able to make bronze, and later iron from iron ores. They were able to spin and weave sheep's wool, from which they made clothing. During the Iron Age, Celtic culture, deriving from the Hallstatt and La Tène cultures, arrived from Central Europe.

Beaker culture arrived around 2500 BC, and making of food vessels constructed out of clay and copper was introduced. It was during this time that major Neolithic monuments such as Stonehenge and Avebury were constructed.
