Foragers for food The first humans in britain wern’t your average human being. They were most known for hunting and gathering food they did this for the night. All humans stuck together as a family in those times because you were always moving on in search of the food.These early people arrived in 2000000BC and had to cope 400000years before they founded how to make srears. Imagine what it must of been like not being able to catch food.

The first domestic pet The first pet was a dog and it came from the breed of wolves. Neolithic people thought that by feeding a young wolf they showed trust which made the wolf stay with them and the wolf would see the person as their pack leader. As years went on the wolf would protect the people and their cave they would also be able to hunt, so it made surviving easier.

Cave paintings Cave paintings were very imprortant in stone age times because the people beleived that by drawing a certain animal they wanted to catch on the cave wall they were giving it life to come to the people for a offering of food.

Each house had a fire pit in the centre and most off them had dressers that were used to piles man made pots and things like that. they all had maximum of 2 beds in each;1 for the man 1 for the women and children.

All about the houses All the houses are very interesting. House7 apparently was built on the bodies of 2 women. It is said that house seven is the oldest house there. Did you know that the door could only be locked and unlocked from the outside. This house was suggested to be a graveyard because bodies were found and it could only locked and opened from the outside so this does support the theory.
