Definition of the Iron Age.

[Astiryu1]

I was always thinking that there are multiple dates for different cultures'/countries' Iron Age. For Example:

Culture A (somewhere in Europe :wink: ) develops Iron into useful tools or weapons,
Culture B,C, etc. adopts technology through trade and/or warfare

then it gets complicated when around the same time when

another culture(somewhere in China twisted:

(running for cover... :lol: )

Then again some tribal cultures in the South Pacific remained Stone Age Tech up into WW2(because of isolation).

My point is these ages vary greatly between cultures so maybe being specific about the Roman Iron Age, the Germanic Iron Age etc. may be a rule to follow but I never went to College. :roll: The hard part would naturally be finding the dates for each one which as we all know can be a scary debate with as much heat needed to forge the Iron in the first place. :twisted:
