After the end of the Bronze Age, bronze was still extensively used for weapons and ornaments, which have usually survived far better than the rust-prone remains of early iron tools. From Celtic Europe, we have a great amount of small bracelets and bronze rings worn by people of modest means in the centuries leading up to the emergence of the classical period.
