[[File:Iron Age swords in Volkia.jpg|thumb|left|Iron and bronze swords found in central Volkia.|alt=|138x138px]]
Archaeological finds uncovered in the Silver Caves located in Zhukovsky Oblast revealed that the lupines inhabited [[Itur]] at least around 120-130,000 years ago, though it is believed that they have inhabited Itur for far longer. These lupines left behind artifacts that present characteristics common with artifacts found throughout Volkia. The earliest lupines were hunter-gatherers who used stone tools.
The first pottery appeared in 12,000 BCE, and the Cord Pottery culture rose between 2500 BCE and 2000 BCE. It is believed that the rise of the Cord Pottery culture coincided with the start of agriculture. Hunting and fishing remained a key part of the subsistence economy even as agriculture was introduced.
The Bronze Age brought about year-round cultivation and [[Wikipedia:animal husbandry|animal husbandry]] that rapidly spread along the coasts, though the colder climate in the northern reaches of Volkia slowed the change. Cultures in Volkia shared common features in their pottery and tools, but local features existed. Commercial contacts that had so far been local lupine tribes in Volkia extended to the rest of Itur and [[Yasteria]], which brought in bronze artifacts between 2100 BCE and 1900 BCE. Domestic manufacture of bronze artifacts started in 1700 BCE with the introduction of Zalari-style bronze axes.

At the end of the 3rd Century, indigenous artifact culture - especially in women's jewelry and weaponry - had more similar features than ever before. This has been interpreted as expressing a common Volkian identity which was born from an image of common origin.

Various issues in Volkia including economic stagnation, social unrest, and massive crop failures ultimatley led to the fall of the Kingdom of Volkia. Crop failures led to widespread famine and food riots, the largest of which occurred in Volkgoroda. These riots and the threat of open revolt led to the abdication of the Volkian monarch and resulted in the abolishment of the Volkian monarchy as a whole.
