This logboat was discovered in Poole Harbour and is over 2,300 years old. It carried up to 18 people and was made from part of an oak tree. Archaeologists think it was used to sail between the five islands close to the harbour. For a long time, archaeologists struggled to find a way of preserving the logboat so people could see it without it rotting away. Finally, after 40 years, they found a way. The boat is coated in sugar to keep it looking exactly the way it did when it was discovered.

The Amesbury Archer
The Amesbury Archer is a man who lived in Britain in approximately 2,300 BC. He was found with a large collection of grave goods including bronze, gold, flint arrowheads and pottery. These items were included so he had everything he needed for the afterlife.

Trading in the Bronze age
During the Bronze Age, people travelled to exchange items like tin and copper. Boats were used to transport tin, copper and bronze objects. Tin was only found in parts of Europe, so was transported to countries where it was needed to make bronze. People exchanged one item for another as they did not have coins. Metals such as tin and copper were worth a lot so many items would have to be exchanged for it. Copper, tin and bronze were expensive so only wealthy people could afford them.

How were goods exchanged?
Bartering is when goods are exchanged for another item without money. At the beginning of the Iron Age, there were no coins. When you bartered with someone, you had to decide what your goods were worth.
Would grain be worth the same as precious copper or tin?

How did coins end trading?
Coins appeared around 600 BC. Kings had the image of a lion stamped on one side, and the other side was left blank. People were pleased with coins. They knew what goods were worth instead of arguing over the value of items. For the first time people had coins as well as land and animals.
