It is thought that the name ‘beaker’ dates right back to the Beaker people from the Neolithic period. Way back in 10,000 BC, they were master pottery makers and are thought to have created the first iteration. Over the years, various versions of the scientific beaker have made their way to the lab.
Was Bell Beaker Indo European?
Archaeology, linguistics, and different Y-chromosome bottlenecks clearly indicate that Bell Beakers were at the origin of the North-West Indo-European expansion in Europe, while the survival of Corded Ware-related groups in north-eastern Europe is clearly related to the expansion of Uralic languages. NOTE.

John Joseph Griffin

Which Celts came to Ireland?
Current academic opinion favours the theory that the Celts arrived in Ireland over the course of several centuries, beginning in the late Bronze Age with Celts of the early iron-using Hallstatt group of people, to be followed after 300BC by Celts of the La Tène cultural group which formed within the Hallstatt group.
When did Celts come to Ireland?
1000 B.C.
From as far back as the 16th century, historians taught that the Irish are the descendants of the Celts, an Iron Age people who originated in the middle of Europe and invaded Ireland somewhere between 1000 B.C. and 500 B.C. That story has inspired innumerable references linking the Irish with Celtic culture.

What language did the Bell Beaker Culture speak?
Back to Beaker language. I think Beakers spoke a single language or intelligible dialects. I’m confident that that language was Indo-European based on how the child cultures develop in the EMBA in Central Europe, particularly those descending into Bronze Age Italy.
Who lived in Britain before Beaker Folk?
Cheddar Man, Britain’s oldest complete skeleton, belonged to this group. He lived around 10,000 years ago. But by the time the Beaker folk came to Britain 4,400 years ago, the hunter-gatherers had long since gone. In fact, farmers with brown eyes and lighter skin than Cheddar Man’s migrated to Britain 6,000 years ago.
