Carbon-14 has dated the earliest Bell Beaker sites to c.2,900 BC.7 On archaeological evidence alone the Beaker culture arrived in much of Europe with immigrants. It is now recognised that the two are contemporary. That similarity to Corded Ware, together with the similarity of burial custom, and the fact that the two cultures overlap geographically, led to the assumption that Bell Beaker developed from Corded Ware. The most widespread early type of Bell Beaker pottery, known as All Over Corded (AOC), is decorated with impressions made with cord.

Some aspects of this revolution had already spread in the late Neolithic, but it was in the 3rd millennium BC that the full impact of the transformation was felt. It forms part of a wave across Europe which brought the plough, wheeled vehicles, woolly sheep - the whole Secondary Products Revolution, together with metallurgy and horse power. There are far more important aspects to this culture than its pottery. Archaeologists have found the distinctive beaker so useful in identifying the culture that rather too much emphasis has been placed upon it. Bell Beaker ware is found as far east as Poland, as far south as Northern Morocco, as far north as Scotland, northern Denmark, and even the southern tip of Norway. This culture is recognised by its characteristic pottery, shaped like an inverted bell. Then we start to see the Bell Beaker Culture spreading over a swathe of Europe.
