Europe's Last Hunter-Gatherers | Pitted Ware Culture

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/dandavisauthorPayPal ➜ https://paypal.me/DanDavisAuthorKo-fi ➜ https://ko-fi.com/dandavis*My Books*Godborn: Gods of Bronze 1 ➜ https://amzn.to/3nm2au1Thunderer: Gods of Bronze 2 ➜ https://amzn.to/3sYidRNAll my books on Amazon ➜ https://amzn.to/3xngwz5Your 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/DanDavisWritesInstagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/dandavisauthor/*Video Sources*The Horse, the Wheel, and Language - David Anthony ➜ https://amzn.to/3aD3RhuThe First Farmers of Europe An Evolutionary Perspective - Stephen Shennan ➜ https://amzn.to/2SsqcbwSticks, Stones, and Broken Bones Neolithic Violence in a European Perspective - Rick J.
