The Iron Age is the period generally occurring after the Bronze Age, marked by the prevalent use of iron. Iron production is known to have taken place in Anatolia at least as early as 1200 BC, with some contemporary archaeological evidence pointing to earlier dates.
The early period of the age is characterized by the widespread use of iron or steel. The adoption of these materials coincided with other changes in society, including differing agricultural practices, religious beliefs and artistic styles. The Iron Age as an archaeological term indicates the condition as to civilization and culture of a people using iron as the material for their cutting tools and weapons. The Iron Age is the third principal period of the three-age system created by Christian Thomsen (1788–1865) for classifying ancient societies and prehistoric stages of progress.
In historical archaeology, the ancient literature of the Iron Age includes the earliest texts preserved in manuscript tradition. Sanskrit and Chinese literature flourished in the Iron Age. Other texts include the Avestan Gathas, the Indian Vedas and the oldest parts of the Hebrew Bible. The principal feature that distinguishes the Iron Age from the preceding ages is the introduction of alphabetic characters, and the consequent development of written language which enabled literature and historic record.
Iron is a chemical element with symbol Fe (from Latin: ferrum) and atomic number 26. It is a metal in the first transition series. It is by mass the most common element on Earth, forming much of Earth's outer and inner core. It is the fourth most common element in the Earth's crust. Its abundance in rocky planets like Earth is due to its abundant production by fusion in high-mass stars, where the production of nickel-56 (which decays to the most common isotope of iron) is the last nuclear fusion reaction that is exothermic. Consequently, radioactive nickel is the last element to be produced before the violent collapse of a supernova scatters precursor radionuclide of iron into space.
Like other group 8 elements, iron exists in a wide range of oxidation states, −2 to +6, although +2 and +3 are the most common. Elemental iron occurs in meteoroids and other low oxygen environments, but is reactive to oxygen and water. Fresh iron surfaces appear lustrous silvery-gray, but oxidize in normal air to give hydrated iron oxides, commonly known as rust. Unlike many other metals which form passivating oxide layers, iron oxides occupy more volume than the metal and thus flake off, exposing fresh surfaces for corrosion.

I DO NOT claim rights to this song. Artist : Iron Age Song: Sleeping Eye of the Watcher Album : The Sleeping Eye Radiant dawn, pierce the haze Blind fiends of light, bring decay I am the ruin, a sign to warn the believed Age-old Triad, denied omen All things within die and appear again I am the echo and a vessel no one should hear Saved are the forgotten, lone and hidden from The Sleeping Eye of Old I curse the day it's opened Through I pray to see behind The Gate Of Resting Gods Saved are the forgotten, lone and hidden from The Sleeping Eye of Old Summoned by One The warnings were lost, we worshipped the false Dimensions aligned The Ancient will call, the mighty will crawl Robed in Light, Sleeping Eye Robed in Light, Watching None
*** The dawn of the European Iron Age. In around 3000 BC European metalworkers started to make tools and weapons out of bronze. A complex trading network evolved to convey this valuable metal and other goods around the continent. But two millennia later, a new skill arrived from the Middle East: iron smelting. This harder, more versatile metal represented a huge technological breakthrough.The arrival of the European Iron Age, in around 1000 BC, was a time of huge social as well as technological change. New civilisations arose, the landscape was transformed, and societies developed new cultures and lifestyles. Whether this was the direct result of the arrival of iron is one of the most intriguing questions in archaeology. *** GUESTS: Sir Barry Cunliffe Sue Hamilton Timothy Champion

"The romance of Celtic culture has long cast its spell, lost in enchanted mists and legends. Now, with our presenter Phil Bennett, Head of Archaeological Heritage of the stunningly beautiful Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, we seek to discover the reality of these fascinating people. Castell Henllys, set amongst the wild hills and forests of Wales, was one of their homesteads, between 600 BC and the first century AD. From settlement to abandonment, all aspects of Celtic life is examined, at war and in peace. Castell Henllys recreates our rich ancient past, providing a unique insight into a Celtic tribe living in a fort of the iron age, and offering an explanation as to what became of the people who once inhabited it."
This is a short video about the Early Iron Age. A brief synopsis: Slovenia is situated in the southeastern part of Central Europe; where important trade and military routes have crossed long ago. In the Iron Age the so called "Amber route" crossed Slovenia, which merchants used to connect the Baltic coast and the Mediterranean. Trade routes to the north and west were already well travelled. The Roman Empire further strengthen roads to the east - Towards Greece, Scythia and Persia. Today, Novo mesto the capital of Dolenjska and one of the most important economic and cultural centers in Slovenia. Thousands of years of history unfolds in the "Archaeological image" in the Dolenjski muse in Novo mesto. With the introduction of metal starts the rise of people in Dolenjska who opened the door ...

Predavanje: Ian Armit, University of Bradford HEADHUNTING &THE; BODY IN IRON AGE EUROPE
Bright skies make way for night.
Been light for so long, you've lost your sight.
Your future is darker than you ever feared.
A near era is dawning.
The last age is here.
All meaning is sucked from your name,
replaced by forces of demonic fame.
No matter what you're called, you're not prepared.
A new era is dawning.
