Bronze has several characteristics that made it preferable as a construction material: although it is relatively expensive, does not always alloy well, and can result in a final product that is " spongy about the bore ", bronze is more flexible than iron and therefore less prone to bursting when exposed to high pressure ; cast iron cannon are less expensive and more durable generally than bronze and withstand being fired more times without deteriorating.

The beginning of the Late Bronze Age does not differ from the closing years of the previous period.

In any case, while evidence that Anatolian shares common terminology of metallurgy with other branches would speak against Indo-Hittite, discarding the value of this evidence does not automatically favour the concept of Indo-Hittite, since even a ' moderate Indo-Hittite ' split around 4000 BC would clearly predate the Bronze Age.

Bronze, an alloy of copper and tin, was the first alloy discovered, during the prehistoric period now known as the bronze age ; it was harder than pure copper and originally used to make tools and weapons, but was later superseded by metals and alloys with better properties.

Bronze is a metal alloy consisting primarily of copper, usually with tin as the main additive.

Bronze is the preferred metal for top-quality bells, particularly bell metal, which is about 23 % tin.

An ancient civilization can be in the Bronze Age either by smelting its own copper and alloying with tin, or by trading for bronze from production areas elsewhere.

The Chalcolithic ( khalkos " copper " + lithos " stone ") period or Copper Age, also known as the Eneolithic / Æneolithic ( from Latin aeneus " of bronze "), is a phase of the Bronze Age in which the addition of tin to copper to form bronze during smelting remained yet unknown by the metallurgists of the times.

The boundary between the Copper and Bronze Ages is indistinct, since alloys sputtered in and out of use due to the erratic supply of tin.

The Bronze Age sees a shift of emphasis from the communal to the individual, and the rise to prominence of increasingly powerful elites, whose power was enshrined in the control of the flow of precious resources, to manipulate tin and copper into high-status bronze objects such as swords and axes, and their prowess as hunters and warriors.

In place of less easily available tin, arsenic was added to copper in the Bronze Age to harden it ; like the hatters, crazed by their exposure to mercury, who inspired Lewis Carroll's famous character of the Mad Hatter, most smiths of the Bronze Age would have suffered from chronic poisoning as a result of their livelihood.

Snodgrass suggests that a shortage of tin, as a part of the Bronze Age Collapse and trade disruptions in the Mediterranean around 1300 BC, forced metalworkers to seek an alternative to bronze.

However, by learning to get copper and tin by heating rocks and combining those two metals to make an alloy called bronze, the technology of metallurgy began about 3500 BC with the Bronze Age.

During the Bronze Age, the Aeolian prosper by means of maritime commerce in an area extending from Mycenae to the British isles, from where tin was imported.

Bronze forged out of copper and tin resulted in the production of more durable axes, knives and other tools and weapons.

A Bronze Age archaeological site, where early evidence of tin mining was found, is at Kestel.

Phosphor bronze ( sometimes sold with the shorter name Phos Bronze ) is an alloy of copper with 3. 5 to 10 % of tin and a significant phosphorus content of up to 1 %.
