Or perhaps later in history, it would require the techniques of metallurgy.

或者在历史的后期 它可能需要冶金技术。

Bones of domestic animals were important raw materials for artifacts of Neolithic peoples before the development of metallurgy.

Key hallmarks of this transition included the development of agriculture, metallurgy, complex technology, centralized government, and writing.

这一转变的主要标志包括农业、冶金、复杂技术、央集权政府和文字的。

In both the Fertile Crescent and China, iron objects became common only after about 2,000 years of experience of bronze metallurgy.

在月沃地和国，经过大约2000年的青铜冶炼经验，器才变得普遍。

Of those advances—in paper, movable type, metallurgy, presses, inks, and scripts—paper and the idea of movable type reached Europe from China.

在纸张、活字印刷、冶金、印刷机、油墨和文字等方面的进步，纸张和活字印刷的想法是从国传到欧洲的。

A New World example of technological diffusion is metallurgy, which spread from the Andes via Panama to Mesoamerica.

世界技术传播的一个例子是冶金术，它从安第斯山脉经巴拿马传播到美洲。

Proponents of this theory argue that the artifact was manufactured with modern metallurgy techniques and other technologies that were not available until at least the 20th century.

这一理论的支持者认为，这件人工制品是用现代冶金技术和其他至少在 20 世纪才出现的技术制造的。

Instead, iron ore metallurgy grew out of thousands of years of human experience with natural outcrops of pure metals soft enough to be hammered into shape without heat (copper and gold).

相反，矿石冶金源自人类数千年的经验，天然露头的纯金属足够柔软，无需加热即可锤炼成型（铜和金）。

As an illustration of the latter obstacle, pottery and iron metallurgy arose in or reached sub-Saharan Africa's Sahel zone (north of the equator) at least as early as they reached western Europe.

作为后一个障碍的例证，陶器和冶金至少早在到达西欧时就在撒哈拉以南非洲的萨赫勒地区（赤道以北）出现或到达。

However, pottery did not reach the southern tip of Africa until around A.D.1, and metallurgy had not yet diffused overland to the southern tip by the time that it arrived there from Europe on ships.

然而，陶器直到公元1年左右才到达非洲南端，当冶金术从欧洲乘船到达那里时，冶金术还没有通过陆路传播到南端。

That faster spread of Eurasian agriculture, compared with that of Native American and sub-Saharan African agriculture, played a role (as the next part of this book will show) in the more rapid diffusion of Eurasian writing, metallurgy, technology, and empires.

与美洲原住民和撒哈拉以南非洲农业相比，欧亚农业的传播速度更快，这在欧亚文字、冶金、技术和帝国的更快传播挥了作用（正如本书的下一部分将示的那样）。
