Chalcolithic culture

Chalcolithic culture, also known as the Copper Age, emerged around 4500 to 3500 BCE. It marks a transitional phase between the Neolithic (Stone Age) and the Bronze Age. During this time, people began using copper tools and weapons alongside traditional stone implements. This era saw advancements in agriculture, pottery, and social organization, leading to more complex societies. Settlements grew larger, and trade networks expanded. The Chalcolithic period laid the groundwork for future technological innovations and is crucial for understanding the development of human civilization.
