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.)

I should say there is more nuance than stated in the video. The interactions and movements of different groups is complex and more evidence is emerging all the time. The Anatolian Hunter Gatherers are not exactly synonymous with Western Hunter Gatherers and cluster separately. The exact relationship isn't well understood. It may be that a people ancestral to both moved through Anatolia into Europe. But they continued to interact and share DNA after their separation, whenever that was. There isn't enough data yet to know for sure but they were very closely related. And the Anatolian Farmers had maybe 10%-20% Caucasus Hunter Gatherer and about 10% Levantine first farmer DNA which isn't much really. They mostly adopted farming through cultural changes rather than demographic changes. Watch the next episode in this series here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dJ9ms8SfYby3kqw.html

Just some thoughts. I thought your general overall depiction of this and other groups you've portrayed as probably as 'rea'l as I have seen by those attempting to capture the character of those times. I beleive the biggest point you are articulating generally is the ethic of ethnic tribalism where there is very little mixing of ancient super-tribes and this I beleive you have done wholly on the indisputable evidence of the DNA demographics. I would encourage you to stick to your guns :-) as this view of man conflicts with a tsunami of popular culture world views that have a rose tinted bon hommè view of sweet mankind. The gross replacement of one super tribe by another visible in the big DNA picture speaks of a cultural ruthlessness that we know existed. We need to be careful not to water this down at the less DNAable (new word?) local level. The world of trade I beleive is more likely to have existed within super-family related groups than some of the more imaginative inter-sper tribe bartering portrayed by many. Fundamentally, we in the West are prone to dressing up pre-history in the irenic clothes of our contemporary Judeo-Christian-underpinned culture. Survival of the fittest in Europe was slowly replaced from around 2000 years ago by a different belief system that bore the values and pillars of traditional Western culture namely; fear free learning, fear free justice, fear free care systems manifesting in the libearal deocracy, education and care systems in place in the West. We in the West have largely been brought up in this fear free environment but, I beleive, if we dont introspectively recognise this we will make the mistake of assuming other cultures, both ancient and modern, lived in a similarly blessed and harmonic way. Your U-tube clips therefore are I beleive more holistically accurate. Please dont dumb down the big message you are putting across because of the PC of those living within the Christian-Judeo bubble who are unappreciative of the blessing they are living under :-) Keep the good work up Sunbeam!
My family has lived in rural southeast Missouri for 6 generations. Back 50 years ago when 'everyone farmed' the people spent a number of days each year fishing, gigging, netting, hunting, foraging etc...for literally tons of free food. Even during the depression people may not have had 'store bought' food but most everyone could live on wild harvest.

Pitted Ware is quite interesting. I once worked on an excavation of a pitted ware cult area, in notheast Denmark. Like you said, they had some kind of Bear cult on Kainsbakke (also in Denmark) but in Ginnerup we found a site of pitted ware horse cult. 5000 tears ago they had dug a long trench, and filled it with crushed pottery, animal bones, and… horse jaws! Beneath each jaw they had placed a flint scraper-tool, perhaps the tool used to flay the horse.
Those stone battleaxes look remarkably lethal.

Also, slate was a material that had been used for thousands of years in North Scandinavia and it was infact one of the cultural elements adopted from the North Scandinavian hunter gatherers. Should state that I have an MA in archaeology from Umeå University, the northernmost archaeological department in Sweden. There is a lot that comes in a different light when one start to look into the north Scandinavian material. But North Scandinavia were not a backwater of South Scandinavia. Archaeologically it is a distinct different region into the iron age. Their connections goes east and they even learn about metals from the east, not from the south.

Yeah well the Gods of Bronze series is recreating the Twelves Tasks of Herakles in the Third Millennium BC but I am opening the scope out across Eurasia rather than mostly in Greece. In the myths, Herakles travels to the garden of the Hespirades said to be in Tartessos in southern Iberia. He also visits Atlas to get him to get the sacred apple he needs to complete his task - and Atlas is holding up the world in the Atlas Mountains on the other side of the Mediterranean in North Africa. So yeah my hero will go there but I'm not sure what book number it will be yet or how long it will be before I do a video on it. But it's still coming eventually.

Excellent! Thank you Dan! Off subject: I did enjoy the pictures of the three sided flint arrowheads, because one of the best flint knappers in North America has made reproductions of those points and was explaining how difficult they were to make. He let me examine them-I was honored to touch them (like some farmer wanting to trade mead for martin furs) And he thought the three sided points were early Armor piercing points (bodkin). Personally I did not agree (because what armor?) until I began to read about the warlike step cultures. But perhaps the unique arrowhead shape was not armor piercing but actually used by the "Seal People" for punching through a seal, -and maybe once used on of those milk guzzling invaders dressed in heavy winter clothes. However the funny part (to me) in relationship to your video, is that the master knapper is of Norwegian or Swedish ancestry, his name is very difficult to pronounce and has the classic scandi blond hair blue eyes. (a retired dentist from San Antonio) And is very proud of those arrowheads-as he should be.

Thanks Bruce, glad you enjoyed it. Armour piercing is an interesting suggestion. There's no evidence of armour here as far as I know but some pre-modern societies including hunter gatherers around the world have used armour made of wood and bone and leather. So it's possible certainly but punching through hides is also very likely.

Hope your novel addresses the fact that Beaker / Corded Ware peoples, presumed to be the direct descendants of the Yamnaya Culture, are known to have carried Y-pestis anti-bodies and it is now suspected that they brought an early variation of the Black Death with them into Europe from the Pontic steppes which would explain why they were able to replace ie wipe out existing cultures

The high incidence in Norway of R1a (besides the Indo European clade) is likely due to the Eastern Hunter Gatherers moving into Norway along the coast. Is there any mention of the Bell Beaker/Unetice R1b dominant peoples in this publication?
