Bell Beaker Culture

The Bell Beaker people who were widely disbursed throughout western Europe from 2800 - 1800 BC are named for the bell shaped drinking vessel they commonly used.


In 2012 a Dutch paper reported:


“..archaeologists found a 4,200 year old grave at Hattemerbroek. At the bottom of this grave there was a reed mat covered with flowers of meadowsweet and pollen from Cannabis sativa…..This grave was found five years ago, kept secret, and only now made public….The grave is ascribed to the Funnelbeaker culture, the builders of the Neolithic “hunebeds” (prehistoric burial chambers). Archeologists later concluded that the cannabis was being used by the Bell Beaker people as a painkiller.
