Bronze Age
In about 3000 BC, prehistoric people began to use bronze-an alloy of copper and tin-instead of stone,to make weapon and ornaments.The dates for this development,which is known as the Bronze Age,vary from culture to culture,but the earliest bronze workers probably lived in Mesopotamia (modern Iraq).
The first metalworkers
In the early days of the Bronze age, metalworks used gopd,copper and bronze for luxury items,or for high-status weapons,such as the dagger in the Barnack grave,England.People still made tools from stone,because stone was harder than bronze.
Making Bronze
People learned how to extract metal from ores by heating the rock.The metal could then be used to make useful or decorative objects.
- Ore - This common type of copper ore was fairly easy for people to spot on the ground.
- Smelting - To extract the metal,Bronze Age people heated the ore to a high temperature.
- Ingots - Early metalworks discovered how to add molten tin to copper to make bronze.
Casting
Bronze Age people cast objects by pouring hot,molten bronze into a mould.When the metal had cooled and set,the mould was opened,revealing the finished item.Casting was used to produce decorative items.
