	The Bell Beaker Interaction Sphere. © The Comparative Archaeology WEB
		Bell Beakers are named after their bell shaped pots.
		Bell Beakers do not belong to a unified culture, but rather an interaction sphere, because there are considerable regional differences combined with an interregional system of shared symbols expressed in prestige goods.
		In Denmark, the Bell Beakers are thought to follow the Single Grave culture, a variant of the Corded Ware culture, possibly starting in the late “Upper Grave” period of the Middle Neolithic B (MN B).

	Beaker culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Beaker culture is 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.
		The beakers seem to be associated with the consumption of mead or perhaps beer and are likely part of a larger prestige-oriented cultural package.
		In contrast to this, Marija Gimbutas derived the Beakers from east central European cultures that became "Kurganized" by incursions of steppe tribes.

	The Bronze Age in Britain
		Although most of them brought zoned beakers and battle axes, in consequence of their blending with the Corded people in the Rhinelands, others, with the older type of bell beakers and with stone wrist-guards of Spanish inspiration, seem to have entered unaffected by Corded influence.
		On the whole, the Beaker people chose the same regions which had attracted the builders of the long barrows, except that the concentration in Yorkshire was an innovation.
		At the time of the Beaker arrival, or not long after it, another group of people, named after the so-called Food Vessels which they placed in their tombs, seem to have arisen in the west, or to have arrived there from Ireland, where they were also prevalent during the Early Bronze Age.

	The Copper Age in Europe North of the Mediterranean Lands: Danubian Movements and Bell Beakers
		The remains of these Bell Beaker people occupy single graves or groups of graves, rather than whole cemeteries; they were apparently wandering traders, trafficking in metals, for their gold spirals have been found in Danish graves of the corridor-tomb period.
		The Dinaric type, with which the Rhenish Bell beakers are associated, is one which entered the western Mediterranean by sea from the east, and eventually moved, by some route yet to be determined in an accurate manner, to the north, and eventually to central Europe.
		The Bell Beaker people were probably the first intrusive brachycephals to enter the Austrian Alps, and the mountains of northeastern Bohemia, for the push of Lake Dwelling Alpines southeastward toward the Balkans happened later in the Bronze Age.

		They are known as Beaker people from the style of burial where many excavated skeletons are found to have a small pot with them.
		These pots are of two main types, first the all over cord (AOC) beaker decorated by pressing a double stranded twisted cord into the wet clay and later in the occupation by a long-necked pot decorated by a notched comb.
		Perhaps most fascinating, aside from the beakers and some metalwork and burial mounds, they left little behind to tell us who they were, what they believed, what tyrants they feared, what battles they fought, their tragedies and triumphs, all the anguish of their desires.

		He also found that the skulls in long barrows were dolichocephalic (long in relation to their width), and the skulls in the round barrows were brachycephalic (more rounded), so it appeared that they must belong to two different races of people.
		Also found in association with these burials were a selection of other artefacts, these included; barbed and sharpened flat arrow heads, copper axes, small gold, jet or bone ornaments, and stone objects commonly referred to as archers wrist guards.

		In spite of the obstacle of the Channel, Britain is much influenced by successive waves of immigrants or invaders from continental Europe.
		Known variously as the Beaker or Bell-Beaker people, these newcomers introduce the Bronze Age to Britain together with horses and alcohol (hence the beakers).
		The Iron Age in Britain begins some time after 500 BC and is mainly associated with another gradual infiltration from mainland Europe - that of the Celts.

		The earlier, distinguished by beakers with all-over cord ornament, originated in Central Europe, probably in the Lower Rhine basin, where the beakers evolved out of local so-called Corded-Ware traditions.
		A fusion of traditions resulted in northwest Europe, Beaker people being influenced by the Battle-Axe culture, through which they were introduced to single-grave burial.
		In period II (c.2100 BC) people of the Beaker culture built an earthwork approach road, now called the Avenue, to the entrance of the bank and ditch.

	Detailed view: [FAS 4] The Beaker-Cultures in Hesse
		Maps revealed a preference for fertile soils, with the areas of Bell Beakers and Corded Ware largely overlapping and Giant Beakers deviating from this pattern.
		The transition from the Late Neolithic Wartberg Culture to the Corded Ware is described as the adoption of an ideology, which shortly after was confronted with the ideology of the Bell Beaker Culture, which for its part became established in the population from “top to bottom“.
		At the end of the 3rd millennium the Corded Ware Culture and the Bell Beaker Culture merged into the Early Bronze Age Adlerberg Culture under the influence of the Unetice Culture.

		The report of the presence of Boquique pottery in recent years in a number of new areas throughout northeastern Spain (Maya and Petit 1986) demonstrates that the cultural and perhaps even commercial trading were even wider spread than once believed, as well of having a possible earlier origin in the late Cogotas culture.
		Along with other evidence during the earlier Beaker period in the Balearics, circa 2400-2000 BC, as shown by the local presence of elephant ivory objects, along with the significant Beaker pottery and other finds (Waldren 1979 and Waldren 1998), this interaction can be shown to have also been present even earlier.

	Evidence the Beaker People spoke Indo-European languages: an article by Marc Verhaegen
		Linguistic evidence supports Marija Gimbutas's hypothesis that Proto-Indo-European (PIE) was spoken on the Ukrainian steppes, confirms the long-held hypothesis that Indo-European languages were brought to Europe with the Beaker cultures about 3000 BC (Beekes 1990), and contradicts Colin Renfrew's hypothesis (1987) that they came to Europe with the first farmers 6000 or 5000 BC.
		At Dereivka on the Dnepr, for example, pots (beakers) were finished with cord impressions.
		It was from the Kurgan or the Pit Grave culture in this region that about 3000 BC the Corded Ware culture spread over the North European Plain, to southern Scandinavia and to the Baltic region and Russia (Sherrat 1994a and b).

		In later phases of this period, specially during the bell-shaped beaker phenomenon (since 2200 BCE), trade and exchange will also be noticeable by the spread of products (pottery, caracteristic buttons, weapons) that are more strongly associated to the different regions.
		It must be said that the often found term Beaker People is quite confusing: to start with it is not clear that they were any people or nation.
		It is believed that the Beaker People were rich armed merchants, specially for their funerary remains, almost invariably including arrow flints, a copper knife, golden ornaments, typical bone buttons and the unavoidable bell-shaped beaker.

		The inner chronological scheme of the bell-beaker culture in the investigated areas of Moravia and Lower Austria is divided into four sequential periods of development (A, B, C and D), whereby development stage A can be further sub-divided into the stages "early A" (= A1) and "late A" (= A2).
		A so-called "immigration horizon with maritime beakers" (according to Lanting/van der Waals 1976) precedes these local stages of development.
		The basic concept drawn up for the area under investigation can also be applied to the neighbouring culture of Bohemia.
