Who are the Celts?
The Welsh are descendents of people from the past we call the Iron Age Celts.
![Page 7: The Celts](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56812e66550346895d940cf3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
When did they live?
Find out by looking at the timeline and reading the information at<http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/celts/factfile/index.shtml>
Can you draw your own timeline?
How do we know about the Celts (read the information underneath the timeline)
![Page 8: The Celts](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56812e66550346895d940cf3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Where did they live?
The Celts lived in houses (though they were not like our houses!) which were grouped together in hillforts.
There were lots of hillforts. Many were in Wales.
![Page 9: The Celts](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56812e66550346895d940cf3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

The Houses
Celtic houses were called roundhouses, and it is easy to
see where they get their name!
![Page 11: The Celts](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56812e66550346895d940cf3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Hillforts
The Celts built their roundhouses in forts to protect themselves from enemies.
Most of these forts were built on hills. Can you think why this would have offered protection?
![Page 20: The Celts](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56812e66550346895d940cf3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Celts at Work
There was always work to be done around the hillfort.
Look at the pictures of some of these jobs on the next slide.
Can you work out why each job was important to the Celts
For example,
Blacksmith – makes weapons and shields, for protection. Makes firedogs to help with cooking.

Roman Rule
Although the Celts fought hard, the Romans were very organised and eventually defeated them. The Celts then lived under Roman rule.

The Romans taught the Celts in Britain many things and brought many inventions with them. How many can you list?

priests were called Druids.

Back to that jewellery. . .
By now you should have discovered that the Celts were great craftsmen and very clever at making things. They are called the Iron Age Celts because of the work they did with metal. Lots of metalwork has been discovered in Rhondda Cynon Taf at a site which has now become famous. Look at this page to find out what it is called:
