Francis Pryor\’s Book, \”Britain BC,\” covers the history of Britain and Ireland from the very first hominids to the years before the Roman invasion of Southern Britain. Using examples drawn from the book write a 5 page essay explaining how Britain\’s people have developed social complexity, culture and identity in the course of this period. Answer this question along the way: Are the British and Irish culturally distinctive by AD43 – if so how – and how did they get that way?Hints:1. Draw selectively from different periods – 5 pages is not very much space to cover such a vast period of time.2. Avoid over generalizations and assumptions – e.g. Then people got smart and started farming. Hunter/gatherers had not culture. Changes were introduced by outside waves of invasions.3. A few examples carefully chosen may say more (and get a better grade) than a disassociated list of \”bullet points.4. Focus on argumentation – it is not an argument unless someone could (wrongly) refute it.5. Is there a particular \”take\” you can develop to make your argument more persuasive. i.e. ornamentation/care of the dead/ritual/art/social hierarchy6. Use in text citation (in this instance)7. Short pithy quotes, rather than long block quotes.8. Re-read your paper several times out loud to catch mistakes.9. Write long – cut dross.10. Tell me what you are going to say. Say it. Tell me what you just said.
