Document Summary

Ages of greek history: 3000 - 1200 bc: bronze age. The above are constructions of modern historians, not the ones used by greeks. Some dividers are more arbitrary, while others are marked by a historic event (i. e. death of. Alexander the great represents the end of classical age) Primary sources are pieces of evidence from the ancient world (i. e. tools, literature, buildings, skeletons) Secondary sources are comments by scholars regarding primary sources (i. e. textbooks) Agricultural revolution, which happens simultaneously around the world, occurs at the end of the stone age, ushering in the bronze age. Humans cease to be hunter-gatherers and begin harvesting their own food in one geographical area. Bronze age refers to the tools being used by workers to become more productive in tasks such as agriculture. Modern scholars assume that the tools you utilize define who you are ( materialists"). Marriage follows bronze age as a means to determine the legitimacy of heirs to property.
