No :?: , it is some one else who insists the iron age ends with the invasion of britain.
I am the one who is of the opinion it did not, and also pointed out the varying times of other places.
I was always of the opinion, and understood the term to apply to the technology of the ages.
Iron age Britain may have ended with the invasion, but the iron age did not, as it was the dominant technology.(at least in my humble opinion)
When I said the Romans were part of the iron age, someone else decided to contradict that.
I said I think the terminology is illogical, if that was the basis of its criteria, as opposed to the technology it uses for its name....
Which is partly my point of starting this thread.
To generate a little debate on this.
