Iron Age Archaeology

Iron Age archaeology studies the period roughly starting around 1200 BCE when societies began to predominantly use iron for tools and weapons. Archaeologists analyze artifacts, settlements, and burial sites from this era to understand technological advances, social organization, and cultural practices. This period saw significant changes in how communities lived and interacted, ultimately shaping the foundations of later civilizations. Through excavation and scientific techniques, researchers interpret ancient lifestyles, trade, and technological development during the Iron Age, providing valuable insights into human history and cultural evolution.
