Beaker people

The Beaker people were a prehistoric group in Europe, active around 2500 to 1800 BCE, known for their distinctive pottery style, which often featured bell-shaped beakers. They are associated with the spread of metalworking, including copper and gold, and are thought to have played a role in the cultural exchange across Europe during the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age. Genetic studies suggest the Beaker people contributed to population changes in Britain and elsewhere, blending various cultures and traditions as they migrated. Their legacy includes advancements in art, burial practices, and social organization.
