What was the genetic makeup of the Bell Beaker people, a culture that had a profound impact on the genetics of Britain, Ireland and the Iberian Peninsula? Now before this, let’s get a quick overview of the Bell Beaker complex for those that are not too familiar with it? I have made other videos on them but as a general overview, the Bell Beaker Culture refers to an archaeological culture that existed for around one thousand years, from around 2800-1800 BC. It gets its name from the shape of their pottery, drinking vessels in the shape of inverted-bells.
The people who were part of the Beaker culture can be identified as they were buried with distinctive artefacts such as their pottery. This pottery first appeared on the Iberian peninsula, but within less than 100 years, this ancient culture had spread across much of Western and Central Europe and into Britain and Ireland, including reaching parts of Europe such as Sardinia and Sicily, in addition to parts of northern Africa.
Now why should we care about what the genetic makeup of the Bell Beakers was?
