chalcolithic period

Examples of chalcolithic period in the following topics:

• Harappan Culture

  • The society of the Indus River Valley has been dated from the Bronze Age, the time period from approximately 3300-1300 BCE.
  • During 4300-3200 BCE of the Chalcolithic period, also known as the Copper Age, the Indus Valley Civilization area shows ceramic similarities with southern Turkmenistan and northern Iran.

• The Eastern Zhou Period

  • The Eastern Zhou period was divided into two halves.
  • The first period of Zhou rule, which lasted from 1046-771 BCE and was referred to as the Western Zhou period, was characterized mostly by unified, peaceful rule.
  • Thus, the assassination marked the end of the Western Zhou period and the beginning of the Eastern Zhou period.
  • This period lasted from about 771-476 BCE.
  • This map shows the Warring States late in the period.

• Archaic Greece

  • It also laid the groundwork for the classical period, both politically and culturally.
  • Historians do have access to rich archaeological evidence from this period though that help to inform our understanding of Greek life during the Archaic period.
  • However, the polis did not become the dominant form of sociopolitical organization throughout Greece during the Archaic period, and in the north and west of the country it did not become dominant until later in the classical period.
  • In the Archaic period, the Greek word tyrannos did not have the negative connotations it had later in the classical period.
  • The Iliad, however, has been placed immediately following the Greek Dark Age period.

• The Eastern Han Period

  • The Eastern Han period was a time of reunification and prosperity that also saw the perfection of paper and porcelain.
  • When the Western Han period ended in 9 CE, the regent to the prior emperor, Wang Mang, proclaimed his own new dynasty, the Xin Dynasty.
  • The Hun Confederation, which had grown strong during China's period of instability, was pacified.
  • It was also in this period that paper, one of China's most important inventions, emerged.
  • Porcelain existed in previous forms for centuries, but was perfected in the Eastern Han period.

• Splitting History

  • To the extent that history is continuous and cannot be generalized, all systems of periodization are arbitrary.
  • Moreover, determining the precise beginning and ending to any period is also a matter of arbitrary decisions.
  • For example, the history of Asia or Africa cannot be neatly categorized following these periods.
  • Some historians have also noted that the 1960s, as a descriptive historical period, actually began in the late 1950s and ended in the early 1970s, because the cultural and economic conditions that define the meaning of the period dominated longer than the actual decade of the 1960s.
  • The periodization of world history, as imperfect and biased as it is, serves as a way to organize and systematize knowledge.

• The Decline of Ancient Egypt

  • Ancient Egypt went through a series of occupations and suffered a slow decline over a long period of time.
  • First occupied by the Assyrians, then the Persians, and later the Macedonians and Romans, Egyptians would never again reach the glorious heights of self-rule they achieved during previous periods.
