The naming of prehistoric eras refer to cultures rather than dates.  So for instance when the middle east had developed a Bronze age culture, Britain was still in the stone age.

The following simplified date ranges have been used on this web site to indicate when the cultures prevailed in our area; you can click on in the navigation bar on the left to view a description of life in Chobham during that period.
