People of this age started making tools and implements with copper and bronze in place of stone.These tools of Metal Age were sharper and more beautiful than the tools of Stone Age.As metal is harder than stone,tools of metal proved to be more durable.During this period the clay pots were replaced by the utensils made of metal.Men had become more civilized during the Metal Age.Their knowledge of agriculture,animal breeding and arts made them more civilized than before.
