The Bell-Beaker culture (sometimes shortened to Beaker culture, Beaker people, or Beaker folk; ), ca. 2800 – 1900 BC, is the term for a widely but spottily scattered archaeological culture of prehistoric western Europe starting in the late Neolithic (stone age) running into the early Bronze Age. The term was coined by John Abercromby, based on their distinctive pottery drinking vessels.
