Quite a weird period that... lots going on ... imigrants coming in , imperial politics, religion, death and war (bit like the UK now!!)

I don't get all this prehistoric rubbish really. Surely the only period of any interest in the UK is that between about 793AD and 1066AD? Outside the UK the late pre-Viking Iron Age in Scandinavia is also interesting, as is the Late Norse period. There really is no need to investigate anything else since these have it all; great stories; giant porridge spoons; mad old women that like beating up chickweed; heroic fights; politics; legal disputes; and Vikings a-plenty. What more could a person need?

Of course in some parts of Yorkshire the prehistoric still continues to this day... }

Definitely Medieval (v. early though)! Middle Anglo-Saxon, to be precise.

Hmm. We have lots of prehistorians...[8D]
And what's wrong with that?

In proportion to the timespans involved, prehistorians are grossly under-represented!

I'm definately a prehistorian, and preferably anything pre neolithic too although I'm not sure whether that is just because I do indeed end up using my imaginated a little to much in the face of little evidence!
Do have a bit of a soft spot for thos Vikings too.

Not a fan of periods really. Transitions are much more interesting. Change over stasis every time. Particularly like either side of the Roman infestation, but as a result have grown to quite like the bloody Romans as well!

How about the period when archaeologists earn more than doctors
