2. What is Prehistory?

'Prehistory' is a word used to describe a period of time - the thousands of years between humans first developing, up until when they began to write things down.

Writing developed in different ways, at different times in different parts of the world, so it's hard to be exact about prehistory dates.

In Britain 'prehistory' is usually used to describe the time between about 450,000 BC up to when the Romans arrived in 43AD, almost 2000 years ago.

Because there are no written records, everything we know about the prehistoric period has been worked out from the things those early people left behind - things like their homes, graves, tools and even skeletons.
