Prehistoric Archaeology of the British Isles
Delve into the past with local Dr Amber as she introduces you to the prehistory of the British Isles. The course is aimed at anyone who is interested in the archaeology of Britain. It will cover 500,000 years of prehistory from the Palaeolithic to the Iron age, providing you with a grounding in British prehistoric archaeology and the changing ways of life over this vast period.
Lesson 1
The course outline will follow the chronology of prehistory, starting with the Palaeolithic (Old Stone Age) (500,000-10,000 BC). This week will introduce the different hominin species, such as Homo erectus, Neanderthals and Homo sapiens and their use of fire, tools and rock art.
Lesson 2
This week will discuss the changes we see in Britain in the Mesolithic (Middle Stone Age) (10,000-4,000 BC), including the use of microlithic (small) flint tools, the hunter-gatherer lifestyle and rock art. The much-debated change from the Mesolithic to the Neolithic period will also be introduced.
Lesson 3
Week three will discuss the Neolithic (New Stone Age) proper (4,000-2300 BC). This period is seen as the single most important economic transition in British History due to the beginning of farming, large scale trade networks and new ways of burying the dead.
Lesson 4
We will look at the technological changes in the Bronze Age (2300-800 BC) when copper, bronze and gold objects and weapons were first produced. Themes such as violence, the burial of the dead and the deposition of metal hoards will be discussed.
Lesson 5
The final week of the course will discuss the last period of British Prehistory, the Iron Age (800BC-43AD). The Celtic affiliation we often link with this period will be discussed along with the development of iron technology and the use of domestic areas for ritual. The shift into the Roman period will also be introduced to provide a full rounded introduction to British Prehistory.

من أنا؟
I am passionate about teaching and engaging others in my interests and specialisms. My experience teaching primary, secondary, university students and adults has reinforced this. I want to help others reach their full potential.
Having recently finished my PhD in Archaeology, I am very aware of university expectations for students and I wish to use this with my teaching experience and geography, history and archaeology knowledge to help others through their studies.
My teaching method is centred around understanding and focus so that my students are able to reflect and engage with their learning. I engage my students with frequent questions and discussions to reveal their understanding of the topic and shape my lesson around their progress.
I also believe that it is important to use mixed media when teaching and break up the lessons by changing the teaching techniques.
For instance, a lesson may begin with an introductory statement and discussion with the pupil about the topic, this would be followed by a PowerPoint presentation. To renew the student's focus and concentration an activity, such as a quiz or game, will follow. After which, the lesson can continue with greater focus.

الخبرة / المؤهلات
I am an experienced and versatile teacher (with a PhD) who can teach History and Geography at GCSE and A Level (all exam boards), History at Undergraduate level and Archaeology at A level and Undergraduate levels. I am also able to teach history, geography and archaeology at Primary school level and I can create classes suitable to the requirements and interests of my students.
I recently graduated from Newcastle University with a PhD in archaeology. I also have a background in history (Bachelor degree) and geography (Grade A at A level). I have a full and up to date DBS certificate.
During my PhD, I was lucky enough to teach undergraduates a range of archaeological topics, including archaeological science, archaeological theory and period-specific topics. I have over three years of teaching experience. I have also had the pleasure of teaching Primary and Secondary school pupils history and archaeology through outreach events.
Whilst I was teaching at Newcastle University, I was observed and the results regarded me as a good teacher, at ease in the class environment with an ability to explain concepts in plain, accessible language, and to engage the students. I really enjoy teaching!
I have presented my research at numerous academic conferences and at public talks which have given me the skills to communicate with variable audiences orally and visually.
Moreover, I was recently employed as a Leisure Learning Tutor at City College Norwich where I taught a prehistory of the British Isle online course.
I am an experienced proofreader and cop-editor (over 5 years experience) and I also have experience guiding students through applications, personal statements and essay writing.
Other Experience (valuable communicative and organisational skills):
Stone Specialist, British Museum • Seminar coordinator, Newcastle University Postgraduate Forum • Conference Organiser, Experimental Archaeology Student Symposium, Newcastle University, 2018, and Newcastle University PGF Conference, 2017 & 2018.
Skills: Illustration • Archaeological Illustration • Microsoft Office Suite • Adobe Systems, including photoshop and illustrator • ArcGIS • Project Management • Organisation • Time Management • Leadership • Presentation.
