Bronze Age Ireland
The Bronze Age is the term used to cover the time when people first discovered and used metal. In Ireland, the Bronze Age is sub-divided into:
Early Bronze Age (2500 - 1500 BC)
Late Bronze Age (1500 - 300 BC)
The Ulster Museum's Bronze Age collections include bronze tools and weapons, gold jewellery, pottery, beads and flint arrowheads.
