| Description |
This is a reconstruction of a burial of a man who died between 2330 BC and 2130 BC. The items placed in his grave are typical of the richer graves of the early 'Beaker' period in much of western Europe. Daggers, archers' wristguards and dress fittings were the usual burial goods of powerful people. Grave goods may be the possessions and provisions needed by the dead for their journeys to the afterlife. They may also define the identity of individuals within society. This man may have used some of the items when alive; others were perhaps gifts from mourners. The beakers themselves could have held some kind of drink, possibly alcoholic, offered or drunk as part of funeral rites. It is this distinctive shape of pot with gives the 'Beaker' culture its name. Copper Age, 2350-2100 BC Barnack, Cambridgeshire, England |
