available at the time, thus
providing Bronze age civilizations
to gain a technological advantage.
Iron Age
Is the period of time when the dominant tool making
material was iron. Iron age Technology is
characterized by the production of tools and
weaponry using ferrous metallurgy or iron
working.
Humans had settled into small village life,
toiling the soil with Iron farming tools, such as
sickles and plough tips, made the process
more efficient and allowed farmers to exploit
tougher soils and try new crops.
