They used copper at first then the Beaker people came to show how to make Bronze. That is why its called the Bronze age. They mined the tin and copper to make Bronze.

8 Homes and clothes Bronze age homes were round and had a cone-shaped roof. Their home was made of natural materials' also a little fire in the center to keep warmth. Bronze age clothes were made by making a cotton cloth and weaving through the gaps. These clothes are better than the Stone age but not the same as ours.
