Iron Age artifacts are objects or items that were created, used, or left behind by people who lived during the Iron Age, a period in prehistory characterized by the widespread use of iron for tools, weapons, and other objects. These artifacts can include weapons like swords and spears, tools like plows and axes, jewelry, pottery, and more, providing insights into the technological advancements, artistic skills, and daily life of Iron Age societies.
The African Iron Age developed independently of ironworking in other regions, with evidence of iron smelting dating back to about 2500 years ago in sub-Saharan Africa. Unlike in other regions where ironworking coincided with urbanization, in Africa it often occurred within smaller, more dispersed communities. Additionally, the African Iron Age saw the production of unique iron tools and artifacts that reflected local needs and cultural practices.
The Iron Age in Europe is typically divided into the Early Iron Age (800-500 BC), the Middle Iron Age (500-100 BC), and the Late Iron Age (100 BC - 400 AD). These dates may vary depending on the region being studied.
The Stone Age occurred before the Iron Age. The Stone Age is divided into different periods (such as the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic), during which early humans used stone tools, while the Iron Age followed when humans began to work with iron tools and weapons.
The Iron Age followed the Copper Age because iron is a harder and more durable metal than copper. This made iron a more suitable material for tools, weapons, and everyday objects, leading to advancements in technology and society during the Iron Age.
The Stone Age is characterized by the use of stone tools, while the Iron Age is characterized by the use of iron tools and technology. Iron Age societies tended to have more complex political structures, larger populations, and more advanced technology compared to Stone Age societies. The transition from the Stone Age to the Iron Age marked a significant advancement in human civilization.
