Bronze Age Pottery

Beaker Folk
Excavations across Europe, from Spain to Scandinavia and from Austria to Ireland, have unearthed a large number of items that have been dated and shown to be from the Bronze Age. The most famous of these objects are the drinking cups called Beakers.

The Beaker folk were constituents of the tribes who travelled west from northern and southern Europe, and who created the first permanent settlements along with the skills and tool of agriculture, and hence created the earliest forms of civilisations. These Beaker folk are contemporary with the people who built Stonehenge and other stone-age monuments.

Beaker folk are distinguished by their shorter, more rounded skulls, and are thought to have originated from the Lower Rhine area of Germany. Their tendency to bury small, distinctively bell - shaped beakers with their dead gave them their name. Each particular type of Beaker folk are named after the area or town where their remains were discovered - e.g. Peterborough, Windmill Hill, etc.

Peterborough style Neolithic Bowl
The main pottery tradition of the middle and late neolithic era was the Petersborough tradition, beginning around 3500 BC and continued to the end of the period. It originally developed in the lower Thames valley, but became the standard ware over much of Britain by the late neolithic, with many small local variations.
