It is unclear where copper-smelting first appeared in Kiravia. It may have been independently discovered in more than one location, or been transmitted to Kiravia from Faneria. What is clear is that copper was rapidly adopted by most societies on the island continent with the capability to operate the requisite artisanal mines. | It is unclear where copper-smelting first appeared in Kiravia. It may have been independently discovered in more than one location, or been transmitted to Kiravia from Faneria. What is clear is that copper was rapidly adopted by most societies on the island continent with the capability to operate the requisite artisanal mines. The establishment and expansion of interregional trade networks appears to have played a vital role in the spread of Æneolithic technology. The exchange of copper, finished metal goods, and raw materials facilitated the diffusion of metallurgical knowledge across different regions. The construction of megalithic monuments and the expansion of megalithic techniques would continue and accelerate with the adoption of copper tools and weapons by the megalith-builders. | ||
