Bell Beakers

Bell Beakers are a type of prehistoric pottery associated with a widespread cultural tradition that appeared in Europe around 2800 BCE. Named after their distinctive bell-shaped vessels, they are often linked to early European societies engaged in trade, migration, and the spread of ideas. These beakers are found across much of Europe and are thought to reflect complex social interactions, including rituals and ceremonial practices. Their widespread distribution indicates a shared cultural identity among diverse groups, playing an important role in the development of early European societies.
