- Mark-yourself guide

- Credits, licence and sources

Pages: 12 (including cover and credits). Sizes: A4 (210 × 297 mm) and US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), both PDFs included in one zip.

Printing: Print at 100% / actual size on A4 or US Letter. Inside pages use light backgrounds and print well in black and white; covers are dark, so start from page 2 to save ink.

Every fact is checked against named source pages from English Heritage, Historic Environment Scotland, the Natural History Museum, the University of York, the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology, Encyclopaedia Britannica and the Department for Education (checked 29 Oct 2026), and the sources are listed on the pack’s credits page. Figures that can change, such as curriculum wording, are printed with that date. Where sources disagree, each version is shown with its source.

There are no photos in this pack: all drawings, puzzles and layouts are REALLYBYTE’s own work. Drawings are simplified impressions: not photographs or reconstructions of real finds, not to scale, and not copied from any plan, guide, photo or book. Not affiliated with English Heritage, Historic Environment Scotland, the Natural History Museum, the University of York, the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology, Encyclopaedia Britannica or the Department for Education. Their names are used only to identify the sources we quote.

Licence: personal and single-classroom use. You may print as many copies as you need for your own family or your own class, and share it with your class through a password-protected platform. Please don’t resell, re-upload or share it publicly. For school-wide use, please email info@reallybyte.com.
