Context paragraphs:
Middle Bronze Age migrations (Ancient Near East): Various and currently outdated theories have been proposed that postulate waves of migration during the Middle Bronze Age in the Ancient Near East.  While the turmoils that separate the Late Bronze Age from the Early Iron Age are well documented (see Bronze Age collapse), theories of migration during the Middle Bronze Age (20th century BCE) have little direct support.

Bronze- and Iron-Age Poland: The Bronze and Iron Age cultures in Poland are known mainly from archeological research.  Early Bronze Age cultures in Poland begun around 2300–2400 BCE, while the Iron Age commenced in approximately 700–750 BCE.  The Iron Age archeological cultures no longer existed by the start of the Common Era.  The subject of the ethnicity and linguistic affiliation of the groups living in central and eastern Europe at that time is, given the absence of written records, speculative, and accordingly there is considerable disagreement.  In Poland the Lusatian culture, spanning both the Bronze and Iron Ages, became particularly prominent.  The most famous archeological finding from that period is the Biskupin fortified settlement (gord) on the lake from which it takes its name, representing the Lusatian culture of the early Iron Age.

Nordic Bronze Age: The Nordic Bronze Age (also Northern Bronze Age, or Scandinavian Bronze Age) is a period of Scandinavian prehistory from c. 1700–500 BC.  The Bronze Age culture of this era succeeded the Nordic Stone Age culture (Late Neolithic) and was followed by the Pre-Roman Iron Age.  The archaeological legacy of the Nordic Bronze Age culture is rich, but the ethnic and linguistic affinities of it are unknown, in the absence of written sources.  Some scholars also include sites in what is now Estonia, northern Germany and Pomerania, as part of its cultural sphere.

Late Bronze Age collapse: The Late Bronze Age collapse was a Dark Age transition period in the Near East, Aegean Region, North Africa, Caucasus, Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean from the Late Bronze Age to the Early Iron Age, a transition historians believe was violent, sudden, and culturally disruptive.  The palace economy of the Aegean Region and Anatolia that characterised the Late Bronze Age disintegrated, transforming into the small isolated village cultures of the Greek Dark Ages.

Danish units of measurement: The Danes started with a system of units based on a Greek "pous" ("foot") of 308.4 mm which they picked up through trade in the late Bronze Age/early Iron Age.  Some early standards of measure can be recovered from measured drawings made of the 52.5 ft Hjortspring boat, which though dating to the early Iron Age exemplifies plank-built vessels of the late Bronze Age and the 82 ft Nydam ship.  Thwarts are typically spaced about 3 "fod" apart.

Tell el-Burak: Located in a lush agricultural section of southern littoral of Lebanon, Tell el-Burak has been under investigation by the American University of Beirut and the University of Tübingen since 1998.  The excavations have revealed three occupations on the tell, the latest in the Ottoman Period, the next in the Iron Age, and the earliest in the Middle Bronze Age.  During this earliest stage the mound was built as part of a defensive structure serving as the base for a fortress on its top.  In the Iron Age, Tell el-Burak was home to a settlement that was prosperous and peaceful, as seen in its defenseless and fine architecture.  There is no apparent occupation in the intervening Late Bronze Age as the site was seemingly abandoned in favor of Sarepta, four kilometers to the south.

10th century BC: The 10th century BC started the first day of 1000 BC and ended the last day of 901 BC.  This period followed the Late Bronze Age collapse in the Near East, and the century saw the Early Iron Age take hold there.  The Greek Dark Ages which had come about in 1200 BC continued.  The Neo-Assyrian Empire is established towards the end of the 10th century BC.  In the Iron Age in India, the Vedic period is ongoing.  In China, the Zhou dynasty is in power.  Bronze Age Europe continued with Urnfield culture.  Japan was inhabited by an evolving hunter-gatherer society during the Jōmon period.

History of the ancient Levant: The Levant is a geographical term that refers to a large area in Southwest Asia, south of the Taurus Mountains, bounded by the Mediterranean Sea in the west, the Arabian Desert in the south, and Mesopotamia in the east.  It stretches 400 miles north to south from the Taurus Mountains to the Sinai desert, and 70 to 100 miles east to west between the sea and the Arabian desert.  The term is also sometimes used to refer to modern events or states in the region immediately bordering the eastern Mediterranean Sea: Cyprus, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria.

Edom: Edom ( or ; ; Assyrian: "Udumi"; Syriac: ܐܕܘܡ) was a country in Transjordan, between Ammon to the north, the Dead Sea and the Arabah to the west, and the Arabian desert to the south and east. .  Most of its former territory is now divided between Israel and Jordan.  Edom appears in written sources relating to the late Bronze Age and to the Iron Age in the Levant, such as the Hebrew Bible and Egyptian and Mesopotamian records.  In classical antiquity, the cognate name Idumea was used for a smaller area in the same general region.

Tartessian language: The Tartessian language is the extinct Paleohispanic language of inscriptions in the Southwestern script found in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula: mainly in the south of Portugal (Algarve and southern Alentejo), and the southwest of Spain (south of Extremadura and western Andalusia).  There are 95 of these inscriptions, the longest having 82 readable signs.  Around one-third of them were found in Early Iron Age necropolises or other Iron Age burial sites associated with rich complex burials.  It is usual to date them to the 7th century BC and consider the southwestern script to be the most ancient Paleohispanic script, with characters most closely resembling specific Phoenician letter forms found in inscriptions dated to "c." 825 BC.  Five of the inscriptions occur on "stelae" with what has been interpreted as Late Bronze Age carved warrior gear from the Urnfield culture.
