What was formalised in 1836 by C. J. Thomsen?

  • The three-age system

  • The five-stage system

  • The civilization cycle

  • The concept of Roman law

Answer

The three-age system was a system developed by C. J. Thomsen in 1836 to classify archaeological finds into three major periods: the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age. The system was based on the observation that different types of tools and weapons were used in different periods, and that the materials used to make these tools and weapons changed over time.
