Pitted Ware Culture

The Pitted Ware Culture was a prehistoric group of people who lived around 3200 to 2300 BCE in the Nordic region, particularly on coastal and island areas of what is now Sweden and neighboring countries. They are known for their distinctive pottery, characterized by pits or depressions, which reflects their artistic style. This culture relied heavily on fishing, hunting, and gathering for sustenance. The Pitted Ware people also had trade connections with other cultures and practiced burial traditions that provide insights into their social structures and beliefs. Their legacy contributes to our understanding of early European societies.
