How can we identify early settlements? Use an atlas to try and find villages with names which suggest they were early settlements. Choose three or four to concentrate on. What are the villages like today? What features do they have? (look on the map for the symbols for churches, schools, hospitals, etc.) How are they linked with other villages and towns? Why do you think these villages were good sites for early settlers? Think about nearby resources like streams, hills, forests, etc. Unit 9: Village settlers
