Bronze

The absence or presence of bronze as a military technology used in warfare. bronze is an alloy that includes copper, so a polity that uses bronze in warfare is familiar with copper technology and probably uses it to at least a limited extent. consequently, if a culture uses bronze in warfare and there is no mention of using copper then 'inferred present' is probably best.
