The Bronze Age begins with the first evidence of metalworking for bronze tools and objects. Society was based primarily on farming, with people living in roundhouse settlements, or in some cases, the first hillforts. Artefacts of jewellery and weaponry become more common, indicating the rise of social hierarchies. People still built large stone monuments, though burial traditions shifted from communal to individual practices, often including a specific type of pottery known as a Beaker.
