Periodization[edit | edit source]
- categories help to characterize periods of time for easy reference
- however, these categories are helpful in the general and not the specific applications
- i.e., a period of time may fall into one category, but that does not mean that every population or civilization follows that particular characterization

| Paleolithic | Nelolithic | Bronze Age | Iron Age | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
