This site is about the Iron Age Celts who lived in Western Europe from about the 5th century BC to the first century AD – the early Celts.
The site is for use both at school and at home and is aimed primarily at KS2 children (aged 7 – 11), their teachers and their parents. The emphasis is on facilitating experiential learning to help children enter the world of the Iron Age Celts at their level of understanding, in line with the National Curriculum. We would urge you to visit an Iron Age location, to encourage role-play and to order a box of objects from the Museum for classes to handle and discuss.
A general point which cannot be over-emphasised is how little evidence of the Iron Age survives today. Most of the surviving documentary evidence was written by the Romans – from a Roman perspective. Material evidence is also thin on the ground, consisting mainly of metal objects. Children need to understand that the history of this era was created using supposition, imagination and reconstruction.

The Black Sea Trade Project is an interdisciplinary study of trade systems in the Black Sea over the past 5,000 years and their effects on local cultures and economies.
The project focuses on the hinterland and port of Sinop (ancient Sinope), an important Greek and Roman colony at the midpoint of the Turkish Black Sea coast.
For thousands of years the site of Sinop has been a strategic point in the cultural and trade systems of the Black Sea. The port has been host to many civilizations, including Bronze Age, Greek, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman. Sinope was the first Black Sea colony founded by the great Greek city of Miletus on the west coast of Turkey. Archaeological evidence for Greek settlement here goes back to the seventh century B.C., although the Bronze Age remains show people lived at the “best port on the South coast of the Black Sea” thousands of years earlier.
