About the Prehistoric Era
In archaeology, the period spanning from the emergence of humans to the establishment of the first state is known as the prehistoric era. This era is further subdivided into the Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Early Iron Age, based on the evolution of the tools and weapons used by early humans. The Prehistory Hall is organized and arranged according to this historical classification.
Paleolithic (Old Stone Age): 800,000 – 15,000 BC Mesolithic (Middle Stone Age): 15,000 – 8,000 BC Neolithic (New Stone Age): 8,000 – 3,000 BC Bronze Age: 3,000 – 700 BC Early Iron Age: 700 – 209 BC
