Introduction

The Bronze Age (approximately 3300–1200 BCE) marked a significant
transformation in human civilization. This period was defined by the
widespread use of bronze for tools and weapons, fostering advancements in
trade, urbanization, governance, and artistic innovations. Societies across
Mesopotamia, Anatolia, the Mediterranean, and Northern Europe saw remarkable
progress in metallurgy, architecture, and commerce. This paper explores
three key aspects of the Bronze Age: the development and use of bronze tools
and weapons, urbanization and trade networks, and artistic and architectural
innovations.
