Europe's Last Hunter-Gatherers | Pitted Ware Culture

Video Description

Existing from about 3500 BC to 2300 BC this was a hunter-gatherer-fisher culture of southern Scandinavia, thriving along the coasts of Sweden, the Danish Islands, Jutland, and a bit of Norway. The Pitted Ware people were maritime hunters who lived separately to the Neolithic farmers who dwelled inland in the same regions. They were a genetically homogeneous and distinct population descended from earlier Mesolithic Scandinavian Hunter-Gatherers. So what happened to the last hunter-gatherers of Europe? (The Pitted Ware culture appear in my novel Thunderer: Gods of Bronze 2. In the story they're called the Seal People.) *Please support this channel* Patreon ➜ https://www.patreon.com/dandavisauthor PayPal ➜ https://paypal.me/DanDavisAuthor Ko-fi ➜ https://ko-fi.com/dandavis *My Books* Godborn: Gods of Bronze 1 ➜ https://amzn.to/3nm2au1 Thunderer: Gods of Bronze 2 ➜ https://amzn.to/3sYidRN All my books on Amazon ➜ https://amzn.to/3xngwz5 Your FREE Bronze Age fantasy story the Wolf God ➜ http://dandavisauthor.com/ *My Links* Website ➜ http://dandavisauthor.com/ Facebook ➜ https://www.facebook.com/dandavisauthor/ Twitter ➜ https://twitter.com/DanDavisWrites Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/dandavisauthor/ *Video Sources* The Horse, the Wheel, and Language - David Anthony ➜ https://amzn.to/3aD3Rhu The First Farmers of Europe An Evolutionary Perspective - Stephen Shennan ➜ https://amzn.to/2Ssqcbw Sticks, Stones, and Broken Bones Neolithic Violence in a European Perspective - Rick J.
