Beaker pottery

Beaker pottery refers to a distinctive style of ceramic vessels that originated in Europe during the late Neolithic and early Bronze Age, around 2500 to 1800 BCE. Characterized by their bell-shaped form, these beakers were often decorated with intricate patterns, including lines, dots, and geometric shapes. Archaeologists believe they were used for drinking, possibly in rituals or communal gatherings. The spread of Beaker pottery is associated with cultural exchange and migration, known as the Beaker culture, which significantly influenced the development of societies across Europe, showcasing early human craftsmanship and social practices.
