The Bell Beaker Culture

The Bell Beaker Culture was a prehistoric society that emerged around 2500 BCE in Europe, primarily known for its distinctive pottery shaped like bell beakers. This culture spread across much of Western Europe, including parts of Spain, France, and Britain. The people of this culture were marked by advancements in metalworking, particularly with copper and gold, and they engaged in long-distance trade. The Bell Beaker Culture is associated with various burial practices and may have contributed to significant social and technological changes in the region, influencing the development of later cultures.
