There are three phases of Dorset culture. Early Dorset which was from ca. 2500 B.P.-2000 B.P. (Ryan 2012:44). There is debate whether this phase is a terminal phase of Pre-Dorset rather than Dorset, though the consensus today is that it is part of Dorset (Ryan 2012:44-45). Middle Dorset which was from ca. 2000 B.P.-1500 B.P. (Ryan 2012:45). This period is linked with abandonment of the higher arctic for preference of subarctic and coastal geography. This is thought to be due to “climatic cooling that occurred at the start if the Dorset era and culminated in an episode of extreme cold at circa 2100 B.P.” (Ryan 2012:45). Late Dorset is from ca. 1400 B.P.-500 B.P., in which there was an eventual disappearance of the culture (Ryan 2012). This

Ian Mortimer uses his book The Time Traveler’s Guide to Medieval England: A Handbook for Visitors to the Fourteenth Century to describe how one might live in the fourteenth century. This book covers a wide range of topics from what one might see and smell when approaching a city, to what one might wear, to how to stay alive. Mortimer’s clever use of a travel guide inspired book lends itself to a much wider audience. The evidence presented in this book is both engaging and intriguing, and provides easy reading for academics and non-academics both.
The Neolithic Era lasted from about 9,000-3,000 BCE. We are not exactly sure of when it started but this is the best estimate. The Neolithic Era was a period of human history when the start of agriculture arose and came before the first civilizations. The Neolithic Revolution took place in many different regions of the world. They where not that advanced so they made tools out of wood, stone and bone.
The Paleolithic is divided into three phases which are Lower, Middle, and Upper. The upper stone age began about 42,000-37,000 years ago and has continued up until the ice age ended.

Every nation is influenced from a source in some way shape or form. This is human nature, the trait is relevant and important in expanding and creating new ventures. For every cause, there is an effect. History is a great example of this, if one thing failed to occur history would be different as we know it. The proof is in the pudding when England and America are brought up in the same air. it is evident England was responsible for Americas solid foundation. We see this in the early stages of America, from the way they dressed all the way to language. Without this country, there would be no America.
Dorchester, England has played a key role in the evolution of England as it lays on one of the main roads leading to London. Thousands passed through this city on this well traveled road, bringing with them ideas and knowledge that the people of Dorchester had not experienced. As they were exposed to these ideas, they become worldlier in their thoughts and better able to understand the issues of the world. With this knowledge, they also saw the need to adopt a new religion as the reforms and puritanism took hold.
One of the first pieces of British literature recorded is the epic poem Beowulf. The poem concentrates on the life of the adventurous Geat warrior, Beowulf.

There are many known periods that we know lead to the development of the modern era and the Anglo-Saxon period is the oldest known period of time that had a complex culture with stable government, art and literature. This period is a time filled with great advancements and discoveries in government, religion, literature, and art. Cultures of Anglo-Saxon society and modern society have many similarities as well as differences. There are many differences between this period and the modern era we live in today in terms of politics, social climate, values, social hierarchy, the role of women, military, government and language.

During the Anglo-Saxon time, the social periode of this age was hard on everyone, for this particular reason it had a big effect on the literature of this time, literature during these centuries reflected the realism of the situations and experiences of the time period ….. The fall of the Roman Empire threw the social conditions into chaos ; there was a lot of war between between cultures & religions, along with disagreement and mistreatment between classes of people (especially when it was a time of feudalism ), Historians and others thought of this iron age to be ; corrupt, vile and hellish ,because of this it has and continues to be nicknamed the “Dark Ages “. The Literature of this age shows the fatalistic world view that the people developed from this wretched time, the writings tell of death and war with little hope for a better future.For example in the story of Beowulf it shows the many challenges that a society had to face before it could even be near peace and even then problems kept coming, not only does it show these
There is little information to support claims regarding individuals in the Neolithic period, but it is only safe to assume that by looking at certain artifacts and cultures that followed them one is probable to come across important information. Agricultural cultures were a more advanced version of the Neolithic man, as they emerged during the last years of the era. Most tribes used to focus primarily on fields like hunting, gathering, and herding before experiencing reform and starting to concentrate on agriculture. While earlier cultures were Apollonian in character, later communities were Dionysian.
All throughout history, humans have come up with innovations that have brought both positive and negative changes to the way people live. This all started around 10,000 BCE, when people developed agriculture. The first nomads started off by moving from place to place, hunting and gathering food… but as people developed agriculture, they saved a lot more time. After agriculture developed, the humans learned many things such as farming and taming wild animals for their own use. This time in history was called the Neolithic Revolution… which lasted about 6,000 years, until 4,000 BCE. The big change in the way people got their food and how they lived, resulted to positive and negative changes of human innovations of the Neolithic Revolution. So,
The Anglo-Saxon period was a time around 410 AD where settlers from Modern Germany invaded Britain after the failure of the Roman Empire. Anglo-Saxon warriors were hired to preserve the Roman way of life but decided the land was good for themselves. Therefore, Britain became their home. Anglo-Saxons contributed greatly to the foundations of Britain by spreading their culture in ways of their language, literature, religion and traditions in law and government. They were referred to as the “First Englishmen” and left the strongest reminder of their presence in ways such as the Exeter Book. The Exeter Book was literature that expressed all the ways and values of the Anglo-Saxon people. “The seafarer”, “the wanderer”, and “the wife's lament” being part of the Exeter book expressed the central theme of isolationism.
The Anglo Saxon period is the oldest known period of time that had a complex culture with stable government, art, and a fairly large amount of literature. Many people believe that the culture then was extremely unsophisticated, but it was actually extremely advanced for the time. Despite the many advancements, the period was almost always in a state of war. Despite this fact, the Anglo-Saxon period is a time filled with great advancements and discoveries in culture, society, government, religion, literature, and art.
In the Anglo-Saxon literature, the scop has a privilege of retaining history, culture and social values of that society. In many cases the scop exercises the power to create stories which reflect the values of that society. The Rood in the ¡°The Dream of the Rood¡± also tells a story of which affects its society and people. The existence of this witness that reports the suffering and the glorification of Christ proves necessary for the people to believe. The Rood becomes a hero that preserves an event that proves crucial to the society. As the Rood observes the suffering of Christ, it also shares with him the pains of crucifixion. In other words, the Rood takes part in Christ¡¯s crucifixion which pertains to the salvation of the souls.
