What was life like in the Bronze Age?

These enquiry-based lessons are based on two archaeological discoveries made by Canterbury Archaeological Trust: the amazing Bronze Age Boat found at Dover and an intriguing Bronze Age burial from the Thanet Earth site.

This scheme of work is written by Canterbury Archaeological Trust and Canterbury Christ Church University Faculty of Education for the BOAT KIT, a product of the European project ‘BOAT 1550 BC’.

Canterbury Archaeological Trust was formed in 1976 to undertake excavations, research, publication and the presentation of the results of its work to the public. Download more of its resources here or on its website at canterburytrust.co.uk.
