Beaker culture are defined by the common use of a pottery style -- a beaker with a distinctive bell-shaped profile found across the western part of the Continent during the late 3rd millennium BC.

 Encyclopedia article on Beaker people [EncycloZine]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The Beaker people (or `Beaker folk') were an archaeological culture present in prehistoric Europe, defined by a pottery style -- a beaker with a distinctive bell-shaped profile -- that many archeologists believe spread across the western part of the Continent during the 3rd millennium BC.
The manufacturers and users of this pottery were also skilled at metalworking and they also buried their dead in round barrows (a type of tomb), often with aforementioned beakers, possibly to hold a drink for the dead on their final journey.
The corded-ware advocates see the Beaker style as originating in the lower Rhine valley and spreading across the Atlantic region to Spain, France and Britain.
