The first pottery appeared in 12,000 BC, and the Cord Pottery culture rose between 2500 BC and 2000 BC. 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 BC and 1900 BC. Domestic manufacture of bronze artifacts started in 1700 BC with the introduction of Zalari-style bronze axes.
