Document Summary
The dark age of greece: circa 1200 750 b. c. After mycenaean civilization collapses in around 1200 1120 b. c. , greece enters a phase of history known as the dark age . But not long after that, starting around 1050 b. c. , greece is also said to be in the iron. The term iron age is general to a vast area the mediterranean, the near east, and europe and denotes a major phase of human history, similar to that of the bronze age or neolithic age . Iron age begins when ancient peoples start developing a new metal, iron, for use in tools and weapons. Thus, for modern archaeology, iron now becomes the most distinctive human-worked durable material left behind. Iron in the iron age did not completely replace all uses of bronze; nevertheless, iron"s emergence and widespread use is recognized by modern study to mark a fundamentally new era.
