The phase of human culture, 11,000 to 3,500 B.C., characterized by bronze tools and weapons, usually regarded as between the Stone Age and the Iron Age.
(die) Bronzezeit Term was introduced by Christian Jürgensen Thomson in 1836 and divided the prehistory of mankind into stone age, bronze age, and iron age. In central Europe the Bronze Age starts roughly at 2300 BC and ends around 800 BC.
A period characterised by the first use of copper and bronze. Generally speaking this period dates in England from 2,300BC - 700BC.
2500-1000BC (Britain) Use of bronze for tools and weapons. See TIMELINE
in Classical myth, this is the third of the four ages of man; the Bronze Age lasted from 3000 BCE to 1100 BCE.
In Britain the period approximately between 2000-700BC. Equated with the introduction of copper metallurgy.
The period generally recognized by the industry as being between 1970-1984.
A general, chronological term used to refer to periods in the prehistoric development of human cultures. The period designated by the term "Bronze Age" is roughly that period during which a culture begins to use tools and weapons made of bronze, copper and other metals and alloys, but prior to the introduction of iron. Because the term "Bronze Age" is defined in terms of the technologies employed by a particular culture, the dates for a "Bronze Age" differ from culture to culture and place to place. Bronze was known and used in Mesopotamia and Egypt before 3000 BC. It made its way into the Aegean and Mediterranean areas between 3000 and 2000 BC and was in use there until the introduction of iron, which occurred gradually between the thirteenth and ninth centuries BC.
An archaeological prehistoric period that in the UK is split into three divisions: early (2000-1500 BC), middle (1500-1000 BC) and late (1000-600 BC).
In Britain, this was the period – from about 2300 to 700 BC – when metal first began to be widely used, possibly as a result of the increase in contact with Europe. However, various types of stone, particularly flint, remained very important for long after metal became available. The Bronze Age saw the introduction of cremation of the dead and burials in round barrows. The later (and best known) phases of construction at Stonehenge also date from this period. See also ages.
Period of human cultural development in Europe and the Near East characterized by the use of bronze tools and weapons that began between 4000 and 3000 years ago and ended with the Iron Age (about 1200 B.C.).
The earliest period in which bronze was used for tools and weapons. In the Middle East, the Bronze Age succeeded the Neolithic period in c. 3500 B.C., and preceded the Iron Age, c. 1900 B.C.
(archeology) a period between the Stone and Iron ages, characterized by the manufacture and use of bronze tools and weapons
(classical mythology) the third age of the world, marked by war and violence
The period in time that corresponds with the introduction of metal working, notably the use of bronze for making tools and weapons.
A period of prehistory between the Neolithic and Iron Age periods. Times vary across the world, but in western Europe it is approximately from 2000 BCE to 500 BCE. An age characterised by the working of bronze.
Period from around 2200 to 800 BC, after the Neolithic and before the Iron Age, characterized by the use of bronze for the manufacture of tools and weapons
A time period covering the years from about 1,800 BC to 700 BC. The Bronze Age lies between the Neolithic (New Stone Age) and the Iron Age. In Europe the Bronze Age is characterised by the emergence of more complex societies who produced bronze tools and weapons. These people developed greater levels of tribalism and a hierarchical society led by tribal chiefs. The dominant monument type is the burial mound which usually contains the remains of a single important individual.
A period of prehistory from around 2400 B.C. - 700 B.C.
From 3000 - 1800 B.C. there were three great civilizations, the Cycladic, Minoan, and Mycenaean civilizations, that were inspired by the introduction of bronze working in Greece.
(1) Non-specific term not in general acceptance by collectors at this writing which denotes comics published from approximately 1970 through 1980. (2) Term which describes the "Age" of comic books after the Silver Age.
2,000 - 700 BC, characterised by the use of bronze in the manufacture of weapons.
period during which bronze was the only or primary metal used for tools and weapons - in Britain it lasted fromroughly 2200-500 BC.
The era when bronze was first used but not yet iron. In Minor Asia and the Mediterranean it lasted from c 3300 BC until 1200 BC. But in the Nordic/Scandinavian area it started about 1800-1500 BC and ended ca 500 BC.
2500-900 BC. In this period most people were farmers. They built stone circles, and wealthier people were buried with objects in round burial mounds. The working of bronze was developed over many centuries.
The third age of comics history (see 'golden age' and 'silver age'). The era that saw the advent of gritty social realism, with stories about a young crime-fighting archer named Speedy succumbing to his drug addiction, and a black man in a tiara yelling 'Sweet Christmas' in a ghetto.
the period in which the production and use of bronze implements became basic to society; bronze made farming more efficient and revolutionized warfare. (p. 21)
The period in history after the Stone Age characterized by the development of bronze and its use, especially for weapons and tools. The specific dates of the Bronze Age vary considerably from one region to another.
The Bronze Age was a period in the civilization's development when the most advanced metalworking (at least in systematic and widespread use) consisted of techniques for smelting copper and tin from naturally occurring outcroppings of ore, and then alloying those metals in order to cast bronze. The Bronze Age is the 2nd stage of the three-age system for prehistoric societies, the 1st being the Stone Age, and the 3rd being the Iron Age. In that system, it follows the Neolithic in some areas of the world.
