In the Fall of 2010, we had many Alside window sets put in. When Spring came, we opened all but four of the windows 1/4 to 1/2 way. We never fully closed and locked the windows until late July/early August when the hurricane was due to come up the east coast.
Almost everybody in the Iron Age was involved in farm work and that goes for women and children, too. In order to prepare the land people used a special kind of plough, an ard, which was pulled by a couple of oxen. That was probably the men's part of the work. Very few people were actual artisans.
Earth is fortunate to have enormous bodies of iron ore, but they occur only in peculiar and extremely ancient settings. Whereas the human Iron Age began about 3000 years ago, a tiny fraction of our lifetime as a species, Earth's Iron Age lasted over two billion years.he clear, oxygenated atmosphere we know dates from about 1700 million years ago, after two-thirds of Earth history. The vast layers of iron minerals stayed behind in rocks called banded iron formation, or BIF.
