The CALICE collaboration is developing highly granularelectromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters for detectors at futureenergy frontier electron-positron colliders. After successful testsof a physics prototype, a technological prototype of the AnalogHadron Calorimeter has been built, based on a design andconstruction techniques scalable to a collider detector. Theprototype consists of a steel absorber structure and active layersof small scintillator tiles that are individually read out bydirectly coupled SiPMs. Each layer has an active area of 72 × 72 cm^2 and a tile size of3 × 3 cm^2. With 38 active layers, the prototypehas nearly 22,000 readout channels, and its total thicknessamounts to 4.4 nuclear interaction lengths. The dedicated readoutelectronics provide time stamping of each hit with an expectedresolution of about 1 ns.
