The culture of the bell-shaped vase.

Dating and origin.
Around the 2100 B.C. Sardinia was involved in the bell-shaped culture, quite widespread in western Europe. The typical ceramic glass called beaker has been made in this period, characterised by the bell-shape giving the name to the whole culture. This type of ceramic was extraordinarily common in Europe, almost like the Roman sealed one. But behind the exceptional migration of the Roman handicraft industry there痴 the history of an Empire and not only a band of nomadic shepherds and warriors carrying on their small bowl all around the world as a symbol.
These nomadic population are supposed to come from East and probably they stopped in Spain where they settled down and melted into the local populations.
Quite probably the bell-shaped vase痴 inventors were not from the Mediterranean but from the countries between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, following the anthropology of some skeleton evidence found in Spain and in the some German and British areas. If the morphological data are right about the geographical birth of those population supposed to come from the Anatolia, then the presence of some 堵lasses� found in Persia, very close to the place where the bell-shaped culture is supposed to be born, are the perfect evidence.
But the question is not already clear.


Society.
This culture is characterised by a strong bellicosity.
