Compare neolithic age and chalcolithic age
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The Chalcolithic Age, literally the Copper Stone Age, is an age of probably 1,000 years duration at the end of the Neolithic era. It began with the simple smelting of copper. Later, tin was added to copper to create bronze, an alloy of great durability, thus ushering in the Bronze Age. The use of stone tools, ornamentation, and weaponry existed concurrently. Lead and copper smelting are identified in the era between 6,000 and 5,000 BCE. The 5,000 BCE date is usually cited as the start of the Bronze Age.
Here is a chronological research/guesstimate of approximate dates in the Chalcolithic Age and the transition to the Bronze Age:
7, 000 - 5,000: evidence that copper mining was taking place in the Timna Valley in Israel’s Negev Desert in these millennia.
6, 000 BCE: evidence that lead smelting preceded copper smelting by this date. Evidence is in an important northern Iraq archaeological site
5, 500 BCE: a copper axe found in Serbia is attributed to this date.
5,000 BCE: first evidence of any metal smelting exists in application of lead components to some stone artifacts
5, 000 BCE: copper smelting at a site on Rudnik mountain in Serbia. Strong verification of process and date.
Dates not certain: Confirmations of independent invention of debated era in the Andes of both copper smelting and development of the Bronze alloy
Dates not certain: North American tribal use of copper indicates non-smelted materials in tools and weapons. Mining of copper is evident in the Upper Great Lakes, the site of the Old Copper Complex, artifact dates of tools, et., ranging from 4, 000 to 1, 000 BCE.
3,700 BCE: the Nahal Mishmar hoard, a hoard of artifacts including many of ivory, copper, and bronze, is discovered in 1961 in a cave in Israel. Some of the copper was apparently mixed with about 4–5% arsenic to harden the copper into a more durable “alloy.” Carbon dating puts the discovery in a 500-year period from 4,000 to 3,500 BCE. Photos of the collection are online. Photo below is a copper crown from the collection, on display in 2016 at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.
