AI overview

The Chalcolithic, also known as the Copper Age, was a period in human history when people began smelting and using copper while still relying mainly on stone tools, fitting between the Neolithic and Bronze Age. This period happened at different times in different parts of the world and was skipped entirely in some regions like Russia, making it an important marker of how different societies adopted metalworking at their own pace.
