Nordic Bronze Age

The Nordic Bronze Age, roughly from 1700 to 500 BCE, was a period in Northern Europe marked by the use of bronze tools and weapons. It spanned present-day Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. During this time, societies developed rich trade networks, art, and burial customs, often creating elaborate grave mounds for the elite. People lived in agricultural communities, relied on cattle herding, and practiced craftsmanship, producing jewelry and pottery. The era saw significant cultural exchange with other regions, influencing social structures and artistic expressions, laying the groundwork for later historical developments in Scandinavia.
