how Anglo Saxons built there homes?

It depends to some extent on the status, and the period you are talking about (the entire Anglo-Saxon period was from around 380CE to 1066CE)\n\nThe poorest families would dig a deep pit, build a wooden frame over the top and cover that with reeds/straw etc as thatch. The more usual homes were single storey with walls of wooden planks and again covered with a roof of thatch. Chiefs and richer villagers did the same sort of thing, on a larger scale.\n\nIf you'd like to see what they looked like try the site below.

the celts came along much later,in fact around 7000years later,there is a program that was on the history channel about the early brits,it showed some of  the places that they built over 9000years ago and according to this historian they were very advanced,in fact he said that they were building when the rest of the world were still wearing animal skins and living in caves,the historian has been studying this after he decided that other cultures have been studied time and time again so he wanted something different,

English originated from the Old Saxon language and related dialects brought to Britain by Germanic settlers from various parts of northwest Germany. The original Old English language was subsequently influenced by two successive waves of invasion. The first was by speakers of languages in the Scandinavian branch of the Germanic family, who colonised parts of Britain in the 8th and 9th centuries. The second wave was of the Normans in the 11th century, who spoke a variety of French.

Latin - who knows . . . is the answer searchable?\n\nI cheated . . . looked it up . . . \n\nOld English (449 - 1066 CE)\n\nThe Old English language (also called Anglo-Saxon) dates back to 449 CE. The Celts had been living in England when the Romans invaded. Although they invaded twice, they did not conquer the Celts until 43 CE and Latin never overtook the Celtic language. The Romans finally left England in 410 CE as the Roman Empire was collapsing, leaving the Celts defenseless. Then the Germanic tribes from the present-day area of Denmark arrived. The four main tribes were the Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians. These tribes set up seven kingdoms called the Anglo-Saxon Heptarchy that included: Mercia, Northumbria, Kent, Wessex, Sussex, Essex, and East Anglia. Four dialects were spoken in these kingdoms: West Saxon, Kentish, Mercian and Northumbrian. The Celts moved north to Scotland, west to Ireland and south to France, leaving the main area of Britain.

The English language, as it is today, is an almagamation of several different sources, the main influences being Latin, thanks to the Roman Occupation of England for a few centuries!!\n\nCeltic, Saxon, Norman, Slavic and Germanic have also had their influence on Britain, and the usual description of English is ANGLO-SAXON.\n\nHope this helps without going too much into history and all that crap.

Everything. Pretty much. Dwarves. Rings. Kings. Epic saga of trial and loss. Etc. and Etc. Just open up to any page and land a finger on a line. Then think Norse.\n\nYou need to post this in "homework help" or in a Literature category, to get more answers.

I have a few tips that you may be able to use.\n \nIf there is new home construction going on in your area, ask around to see if the builders have any leftovers. Sometimes you can get bits and pieces of sheet rock, linoleum, tiles, etc. The builders usually just toss the leftovers in a dumpster, as they don't have enough of the items to complete another house or it's not what was ordered for the next home they are working on.

Stonehenge was probably built by transferring huge slabs of stone and sculpting them by lighting them on fire, and then pouring cold water on them. Nobody really knows why. Some people claim it was built by the Druids as an altar. It also could have been an astronomy site. \nMy question is this: why build it out of extremely heavy stone when there was wood in abundance? ( Whoever built it probably transported the stone on rollers.)

The Romans were master machine builders.\n\n"They lifted heavy stones using cranes that were worked by windlasses or treadmills or the backs of men, they dredged harbors, emptied lakes, and drained swamps"\n\nI expect that they used more than one technique.  Dragging scooping sleds over the bottom when it was smooth, dragging nets when less smooth.   I imagine some sort of conveyor belt or waterwheel would have been used as well.

Who invented it. No one. Although it has been derived from Anglo-Saxons and the Germanic tribes English is just made up of European languages mushed up together.

When you build an addition on your house, you use geometry to figure out how much material you need and you use algebra to figure out what it costs.  Otherwise, you get started building and you run out of materials and money when you are only half-way through.

Most were farmers...others were merchants and traders some simply worked on the farms or in the houses of others...only a very small percentage of Norsemen became the raiders known as Vikings

There were people in Britain long before the Celts came across, which I think was around 500 BC, but we don't know much about them, like what language they spoke. In fact people have been in Briatin continuousy for thousands of years.\n\nWhen the Romans came, they found people speaking a language similar to Welsh, and also similar to Gaulish spoken in France and Belgium. Many of the Celtic tribes still had connections with their cousins on the European mainland. In the North of Scotland were the Picts, who may have spoken a Celtic language - no-one knows for sure.\n\nThe Romans came and went, even though they were here for four hundred years it doesn't seem that they left many descendants in Britain. It was always a bit of an outpost of the Roman Empire, cold, remote, unattractive to settlers.\n\nThen betwen about 450-600 AD, the Angles, Saxons, Jutes, and Frisians came from Holland, Northern Germany, and Denmark; they fought many wars with the (Welsh) Britons, overwhelming them. It seems that they were largely ethnically cleansed from most of England - many refugees went to France, to the area that came to be known as Little Britain, now Brittany. But Wales remained Welsh speaking, while Scotland was invaded by the Scots, an Irish tribe.\n\nLater, from around 800 AD, the Danes and Vikings came from Scandinavia. Originally they were just raiders, but they ended up settling much of Northern England.\n\nOf course, in 1066 we had the Normans coming from Northern France. They took their name from "Northmen", as Normandy had been conquered by Vikings previously, but they spoke a French dialect, and were probably descended more from Gauls and Romans than from Scandinavians.\n\nThankfully, that was the last serious invasion of Britain. Since then, there has been constant interchange of people with nearby countries, and those countries too with all their neighbours, so it is nothing surprising to find a little Mongol blood dating from their incursion into Europe, for example.\n\nWe had a large number of Protestant refugees from France - the Huguenots - in around 1680 - check \n\nhttp://www.huguenotsociety.org.uk/history/\n\nJews had also been present for hundreds of years, before they were expelled in 1290 - they were allowed back by Cromwell in about 1650. There were Italian merchants, and even Blacks were present in Shakespeare's time. More Blacks arrived as servants and freemen as Britain's Empire began to grow.\n\nMany Jews arrived from Eastern Europe from about 1880; there were also communities of Yemenis and Chinese, that originally arrived as seamen. In the 1930s we had Jewish refugees from Germany, and Basque refugees from Spain.\n\nDuring the Second World War, a large number of Poles came to fight against the Germans, and couldn't go back after because they couldn't accept the Communist regime. \n\nBecause of labour shortages, the British government recruited Italians and West Indians to work here; then people came from India, Pakistan and Bangla Desh. And since then, as the world has become a smaller and smaller place, people have come from all parts of the world, just as people have gone from here to all over.\n\nThere's nothing new about immigration, and nothing new about people's fears and hostility. But each wave of migrants gets absorbed into the population.

MEDIEVAL ECONOMICS\n\nThe people of the former Roman province of Britain in the 5th and 6th Centuries had to make their living in difficult circumstances. Around them lay the ruins of imperial grandeur. In the cities, public buildings and private houses were in decay; on the frontiers, the forts were abandoned; in the country, the aristocratic villas were crumbling. This was not just a matter of physical decline or political change because as the Roman state was dismantled, so roads, bridges and ports were neglected, the coinage disappeared, government spending ceased and the elite of the armed forces and civil administration were no longer employing labor or consuming goods on a large scale. Trade dwindled and the former mass-producing industries collapsed. The native British population faced major upheavals in their way of life, including unemployment and a breakdown in law and order. The German immigrants from across the North Sea, who had been attracted by the opulence of the province, had to adapt to a changing society. \n\nWithout trade, easy communications or imperial government, the cities could not provide a living for a large population and almost everyone lived in the countryside. Here again they had no alternative but to adapt to a restricted economy. Apart from problems of security there would be no more large surpluses to be sold in the towns. The villas were taken over by succeeding generations of native British or Anglo-Saxon immigrants who put up buildings of wood. In some cases the territory around the villa persisted as an estate unit and the owners obtained tribute from the local peasants. \n\nThe priority of country-dwellers lay in providing for their own subsistence. In southern and eastern England they lived in timber houses often measuring 15 by 30 feet, associated with smaller structures with sunken floors built for storage, craft work (such as weaving) and accomodations for servants and dependants. \n\nEven in the reduced circumstances of the post-Roman recession, households could not meet all of their consumption requirements from their own resources. They wove their own cloth and no doubt built their own houses and made implements from wood. But they needed iron weapons and farming tools and women wore ornate jewelry manufactured from copper alloy. These could only be supplied by specialists with crfating skills and raw materials so some surpluses from the land were exchanged. \n\nA society with an emphasis on production for use and which had limited facilities for exchange was not likely to be deeply stratified. Elites collected foodstuffs from the peasants in some form but they had limited ways of disposing of goods once they satisfied their followers. While the people of 5th and 6th Century England adapted successfully to their post-imperial world, this was still a traumatic process. The losses of population far outweighed the gains from migration partly as a result of plague epidemics in the 6th Century, but more as uncertainties and the lack of economic opportunity discouraged marriage and child-rearing. We can only make an educated guess at the overall figures but the sparsity of settlements, the abandonment of towns and the retreat of cultivation could point to at least halving the population. Thus numbers fell from a peak of perhaps 5 million in the 2nd Century to less than 2 million by 600 AD.
