Classically, the Iron Age is taken to begin in the 12th century BC Bronze Age collapse in the ancient Near East, ancient India (with the post-Rigvedic Vedic civilization), ancient Iran, and ancient Greece (with the Greek Dark Ages).
Iron use, in smelting and forging for tools, also appears in West Africa by 1200 BC.
In other regions of Europe, the Iron Age began in the 8th century BC in Central Europe and the 6th century BC in Northern Europe.
The Near Eastern Iron Age is divided into two subsections, Iron I and Iron II. Iron I (1200-1000 BC) illustrates both continuity and discontinuity with the previous Late Bronze Age. There is no definitive cultural break between the thirteenth and twelfth century throughout the entire region, although certain new features in the hill country, Transjordan and coastal region may suggest the appearance of the Aramaean and Sea People groups. There is evidence, however, that shows strong continuity with Bronze Age culture, although as one moves later into Iron I the culture begins to diverge more significantly from that of the late second millennium.
The Iron Age is usually said to end in the Mediterranean with the onset of historical tradition during Hellenism and the Roman Empire, in India with the onset of Buddhism and Jainism, in China with the onset of Confucianism, and in Northern Europe with the early Middle Ages

Which age came first the bronze age or the Paleolithic age?
The prehistory and history of humans are often classified by the tools and technology used at certain periods of time. The three main periods are the stone age, bronze age and iron age (they occurred in that order), but sometimes these are divided further. Chronologically, the paleolithic age (old stone age) came first, then the neolithic age (the new stone age), then the copper age (a brief transition period for most cultures exempting a few such as Egypt), then the bronze age, then the iron age. We are currently in a portion of the iron age in which the most common metal used for tools is steel (an alloy made by mixing iron with small amounts of carbon), though we also use many other metals including aluminum, zinc and tungsten.
What is the chronological order of the bronze age the stone age and the iron age?
Yes the stone age the Neolithic stone age, then the bronze age and then iron age They happened at different time in different places. People did not stop using flint just because bronze became available or stopped using bronze when iron became available. Bronze is a very useful metal and we still use it today. Flint when struck makes a spark and was used in that capacity long after it stopped being used for tools for lighting fires and to ignite gunpower in guns. In the 20th century it was used to ignite the fuel in cigraette lighters.
Lots of developments occurred during the Iron Age including:
* woolly sheep
* the rotary quern
Why was the iron age called the iron?
Ages are labeled according to what the humans living at that time were able to accomplish. In the Stone age, people learned to make tools from stone. In the Bronze age, people had learned to melt metals together in an alloy that is called 'bronze'.
In the Iron age, people learned how to generate enough heat to melt iron and fashion tools with it.
Why did the bronze age become the iron age?
The Bronze age [3500 BCE - 1100 BCE] ended when the Iron age commenced. The obvious reason is that iron is more durable than bronze, which chips when struck with iron. The practical implications of this were that bronze armor went out of style when warriors started to use iron swords.
However, this is not the full answer. Archaeologists found destruction layers between the Bronze and Iron Age layers. This means that there was some catastrophe that happened to usher in the Iron Age. There was a significant change in culture as well. Natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes have been suggested, but this is probably not the case. Civil unrest or invasion from outside is more likely, and the reason that the invaders succeeded was most likely due to their superior weapons and superior tactics. They were able to conquer civilizations that relied on chariots because no one had succeeded in developing a way to stop these war machines. The invaders did, and eventually the chariot went out of style. People began relying more on footsoldiers to go to war. This is the essence of the change between the Bronze Age and the Iron Age.
