Iron Age
The Iron Age was a time of discovery and change. As the Bronze Age came to an end, bronze became harder to find. People around the world began using iron to make tools and weapons. The use of iron led to the formation of new societies, technologies, trade routes, and art forms. The Iron Age explores how people lived during the period and how archaeologists continue to study Iron Age artifacts. Easy-to-read text, vivid images, and helpful back matter give readers a clear look at this subject. Features include a table of contents, infographics, a glossary, additional resources, and an index.
