Originally defined as a transitional period between the Neolithic Age and the Bronze Age, the Copper Age (or Chalcolithic Age, or Eneolithic Age) is now regarded to be part of the Bronze Age because it is characterized by the use of metals. It was during this time period that early metallurgists found that the addition of tin to copper produced the harder metal, bronze.
