The Corded Ware Culture was a prehistoric society that existed in Europe during the late Neolithic and early Bronze Age, approximately 2900 to 2300 BCE. It is named for its distinctive pottery, which features cord-like impressions. This culture is known for its burial practices, often involving individual graves with grave goods, and it played a significant role in the spread of Indo-European languages. The Corded Ware people were primarily pastoralists, relying on livestock for sustenance. They also practiced agriculture, cultivating crops like wheat and barley. This culture is associated with the movement of people across Europe, influencing later societies and contributing to the development of the Bell Beaker Culture and other regional cultures.
