Stratum 800 lacks cultural material, so it was uninhabited. Seven radio-carbon samples were dated, which gives this stratum a mean calibrated date of 100 BCE ± 100. Stratum 700 was also uninhabited because it lacks cultural material. Three post holes were cut into the top of this layer (features K, L, and M). This building was constructed during the time of Stratum 600, and none of it remains due to the fire that formed Stratum 600. Stratum 700 is given start and end dates based off the the…

Boudica, the fearless female leader of the Iceni in 60 AD, is a historical figure whose image has encompassed British history and identity for millennia and is still relevant today, but where does this image come from and is it pure history or simply a legend. The first writings and history of Boudica come from Classic accounts whose purpose in writing these accounts was not due to an interest in the Celts, but rather to serve Roman interests. The physical image of Boudica that is known today…

wrote and made copious amounts of valid points as to why the colonies should separate from the mother country of Great Britain. In his pamphlet, “Common Sense,” Paine argued over several different governmental actions and policies, but one of his most notable arguments had to have been when he made several points leading to his theory that the colonies should separate from Great Britain. In his argument for independence, he made quite a few points and used quite a few different tactics to better…

the Paper “Intergenerational Occupational Mobility in Great Britain and the United States Since 1850” by Jason Long and Joseph Ferrie, attempts to answer the question whether the authors can identify, for Britain and the US, historical differences in mobility, particularly intergenerational occupational mobility. In addition, the authors check for sufficiently large differences that explain the differences in labor radicalism between Britain and the US. The authors give a more in depth…

Queen Boudicca herself soon became the leader of the new army. They first sought to take down Colchester, one of the earliest Roman towns in Britain. One reason that this town was selected is due to the fact that it was formerly a Trinovantian capital. After the town had been taken, the locals had been treated as lesser folks and a temple of a former Roman emperor had been constructed, which angered…

Why was Great Britain the first Industrial nation? Great Britain had an abundance of factors that gave it a significant advantage over other countries and Empires when it came to Industrialisation. Britain had all it needed to begin this revolution as they had large amounts of natural resources such as coal, an increasing population due to agricultural improvements, the development of new inventions and most importantly, an ever expanding Empire. All these factors contribute and provide the…

not have, because the colonist were unarmed. On one hand, the colonist got what they wanted, due to the American Revolution that followed, but on the other hand, they lost colonists who should have been able to bask in the glory of freedom from Great Britain. This event in history has largely influenced today’s…

The most determination from any human being ever, came from a man named Douglas Bader. He was a pilot in World War ll, that had both of his legs cut amputated from a horrific crash while test flying a plane. Even though he lost his legs, joined the war soon after the accident. Thats just shows how much he wanted to fight for his country. Most people would just be frustrated and give up on there amputation and live the rest of their life in guilt that they didn't do anything about it. Therefore…

Tragic love stories have fascinated humans since ancient times. They conquered the hearts of many and opened the ways for more love stories. Geoffrey Chaucer (c. 1343 – to October 1400) is one of the most famous English authors of the middle ages. Chaucer is considered the father of English literature and thrilled the mass with his literary works. His most famous works include the Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Criseyde. Yet, again a tragic love story that is still widely popular in the 21st…

Strategic decisions made on both sides presented Fighter Command with the victory and ensured that they did not come close to defeat. Germany suffered from ‘fog of war ‘and was clearly not prepared for the battle ahead; arrogantly predicting to overcome the RAF in a matter of days with a false sense of superiority after success in France; and misjudging RAF aircraft force. The Luftwaffe started the battle with 2830 aircraft, made up of fighters, bombers and stuka dive bombers. The RAF comprised…
