What differences do you see between Bronze and Iron Age civilizations? Compare and contrast these civilizations
What will be an ideal response?
Students should recognize that Bronze Age civilizations emerged in river valleys and were more geographically dependent and fixed in locale. There were fewer empires and less production of trade goods. While empires could be found in the Bronze Age (such as the Sargonian), they were much more limited in expanse than those in the Iron Age. The use of iron promoted more trade and expansion into less desirable, but now usable areas that could be sustained without being in close proximity to river valleys. Emphasis on trade meant that people were more mobile and less limited to local resources. Specialization of production helped to delineate economic development.
