ARCHAEOLOGICAL DIVISION

POORPOLIO AGE:
Paleolithic period or Old Stone Age is the earliest period of human development and the longest phase of mankind's history. It is approximately coextensive with the Pleistocene geologic epoch, beginning about 2 million years ago and ending in various places between 40,000 and 10,000 years ago, when it was succeeded by the Mesolithic Period.

NOBOPOLIO AGE:
The Neolithic Age or New Stone Age was a period in the development of human technology, beginning about 9500 BC in the Middle East that is traditionally considered the last part of the Stone Age. The Neolithic followed the terminal Holocene Epipalaeolithic periods, beginning with the rise of farming, which produced the "Neolithic Revolution" and ending when metal tools became widespread in the Copper Age or Bronze Age or developing directly into the Iron Age, depending on geographical region. THE BRONZE AGE:
The bronze age is a period characterized by the use of copper and its alloy bronze and proto-writing, and other features of urban civilization. An ancient civilization can be in the Bronze Age either by smelting its own copper and alloying with tin, or by trading for bronze from production areas elsewhere.

THE IRON AGE:
The iron age is the period generally occurring after the Bronze Age, marked by the prevalent use of iron. The early period of the age is characterized by the widespread use of iron or steel. The adoption of such material coincided with other changes in society, including differing agricultural practices, religious beliefs and artistic styles. The beginning of the Iron Age in Europe and adjacent areas is characterized by certain forms of implements, weapons, personal ornaments, and pottery, and also by systems of decorative design, which are altogether different from those of the preceding age of bronze.

    One of the most important technological advancements they made was using iron for weaponry instead of bronze. Iron has a few advantages over bronze. One being that because bronze is an alloy of copper and tin whereas iron is a naturally occurring element, iron weaponry is cheaper to produce in large quantities because you only need a single source. You can also obtain a tactical advantage over your enemy by cutting off one of their sources of tin or copper, and leaving them unable to produce more weapons. Iron is also less dense than bronze. This means that the same size weapon made of iron will be lighter than the one made out of bronze. Lighter weapons mean reduced fatigue and greater agility for soldiers on the battlefield.…

    The pre-modern era was a massive time period in which human civilizations began to transition from their hunter and gatherer lifestyles, and move towards more sustainable settlements. This move towards more permanent settlements is what gave rise to many new technologies. During the pre-modern era, the technological innovations of Cuneiform, beasts of burden, and early maritime trade were the most pivotal in establishing the course of human history. Without these select technological innovations, modern day societies would be vastly different.…

    The technological development that interests me is the Bronze Age. What was life like in the Bronze Age? Which countries did people mostly get copper and tin to make bronze? I am curious about these questions. During this civilization, early humans use bronze to make tools, weapons and other materials because it helps them to survive. I was impressed that people from the Bronze Age had the ability to do things that nobody else thought of before. When war occurs, weapons are extremely useful because people are armed with swords which gives them confidence to fight with their enemies. Also, the development of bronze tools gave people something better to use in their work. Of course, this makes their lives a lot easier. After reading Humphrey’s…

    Ancient China was a country that was impacted by its geographic features. Ancient China was a very large country. China’s physical features were very greatly impacted by the contact of other cultures. Some of ancient China’s physical features that prevented them from having contact with other cultures were its large mountains and deserts. This had a good and a bad side to it. The good side was that China was well protected from intruders. However, the bad side to this was that it was it more difficult for China to have contact with other cultures. (Document 2). This also led to China becoming very ethnocentric. Yu was a very important figure in ancient China. Ancient China was in need for water since it was surrounded by deserts and mountains. The solution Yu had to this problem was that he opened passages for the streams throughout the provinces and deepened the existing channels and canals as well as directing them to the streams (Document 4).…

    Throughout that time, humans have been changing their nature and their brain capacity. We have been able to make tools for hunting and war. 500,000 to 750,000 years ago, human beings were known as homo erectus. 120,000 years ago, the newest human breed was known as homo sapiens sapiens. This human breed consisted of a larger brain and an erect stance. Around that same time, 100,000 years ago, speech was developed. To express nature’s beauty, some homo sapiens sapiens would make cave paintings. To express their beliefs and fears (of death), rituals would be made. 14,000 years ago, the Great Ice Age ended and the tool development sped up. This time was known was the Mesothelic or Middle Stone Age. The Neothelic or Final Stone Age may have begun as early as 10,000 BCE. During this time of invention of agriculture and cities, the Bronze Age at 3000 BCE became apparent. The Bronze Age demonstrated that metalworking was superior. Even with all of this going in, civilizations found a way to keep peace,…

    Greece is a country with an abundant history more commonly known as the Golden Age of Greece or the Iron Age. The Iron Age began in the year 1000 BCE in Athens. The History of Greece is naturally separated into three periods each marked by its own distinctive artistic achievement. Some of the most famous pieces of literature were created during the first three hundred years of Greece such as the Iliad, and the Odyssey, and because these stories are based on heroic characters it caused the Iron Age to also be known as the Heroic Age. As travelers and merchants began to explore the east and the west and populating those areas it caused this time to become known as the Age of Colonization. The third period of Greece is known as the archaic period.…

    The development of bronze was significant because it allowed for stronger weapons and tools, which made it possible for the people to both, protect their land and farm it more efficiently. By discovering that smelting copper and tin would produce bronze, a much more durable metal alloy, the Mesopotamians ushered in the Bronze Age. The introduction of bronze enabled blacksmiths to better swords, daggers, and spears that now hold a razors edge and retain it much longer (Hunt, 13). This is significant because the Akkadians, during the Ur III Dynasty, used these upgraded weapons to conquer their neighbors and win glory and wealth (Hunt, 12). The need for the ingredients to make bronze also led to the Akkadians starting wars to capture territory containing ore mines that were not present in their land. Along with improved weaponry the development of bronze allowed for the tools to be made stronger. These new tools improved agriculture, such as with the plough, which now allowed farmers to cultivate their land much more efficiently.…
