1. Metal Age

2.  Period of time in which the use of
early metal tools appears alongside
the use of stone tools.
 Where communities once consisted
of small bands of kinsmen living in
campsites, larger villages came
about- usually based near
water, which made traveling and
trading easier.

3.  The stone tool industry, which had been brought
to a high quality in previous periods, and the
constant search for new raw material resulted in
another very important change.
 A mineral was discovered and mined in big
quantities, which had already been used
sporadically, however its conscious use in such
large quantities became a practice only then. The
utilization of copper and the production of more
effective copper tools started, which soon
transform society at the time.

4.  is the new period in the development
of technology when metals are first
used regularly in the manufacture of
tools and weapons.
 the time in the development of any
human culture, before the introduction
of iron, when most tools and weapons
were made of bronze.

5.  is the new period in the development
of industry that begins with the
general use of iron and continues into
modern times.
 marks the period of development of
technology, when the working of iron
came into general use, replacing
bronze as the basic material for
implements and weapons.

6.  It is the last stage of the archaeological
sequence known as the three-age
system (Stone Age, Bronze Age, & Iron
Age)
