Session Description: What kind of world did humans live in 12,000 years ago? In this session we’ll discover how humans lived towards the end of the Palaeolithic era, when the climate, geography and technology were very different to what we have today. The students will study the fossils of some stone age creatures and explore genuine stone age tools. They’ll then mix their own ‘stone age pigments’ to create pieces of ‘cave art’ before looking at how technology changed as the stone age became the bronze age.
