Introduction to Part 1
Part 1 of the Timeline covers the very early history of Carlton & Chellington.  The content is divided into three 'chapters' plus a bibliography and references.

Prehistoric Carlton & Chellington (Slides 3-21)
The Timeline opens with a review of the archaeological evidence from the Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic periods, and continues through the Bronze Age and Iron Age to the beginning of the first century AD. Here, as in the other chapters, there is reference to the wider geographical area to put 'local' finds and developments into perspective.

Late Iron Age & Roman Carlton & Chellington (Slides 22-35)
Because there has been less development in the northern reaches of the River Great Ouse, excavated settlements of any period around Carlton & Chellington are few compared with the number found in the Milton Keynes area, or around Bedford. Despite this, there are significant traces of local activity throughout the period of Roman occupation into the fourth century AD.

Early Anglo-Saxon Carlton & Chellington (Slides 36-51)
The Early Anglo-Saxon period (EAS) covers the years after the Romano-British period until about AD650. While there is very little evidence of activity during this period in Carlton & Chellington itself, excavations in the villages nearby and in Kempston have yielded some important finds from the EAS period.
