Introduction |
Bronze Age, the period in antiquity that corresponds to the introduction of metallurgy, notably bronze-working, for making tools, weapons, and ceremonial objects. In Europe the Bronze Age spans the period from about 2000 to 700 bc, and in some parts of the Old World it follows the Neolithic (see Stone Age) and precedes the Iron Age.
