The end of the Neolithic era in Occidental Europe and Northern Africa is characterised by the presence of a very homogeneous ceramic type – the bell beaker. As determining elements of the Bell Beaker culture, these beakers in the shape of inversed bells (hence the name), decorated with geometric patterns, are found in well-defined natural and cultural contexts. Although homogeneous at first glance, the Bell Beaker culture does not reveal a centralised production sites for these richly decorated ceramics. It does not reflect an economic network, nor a single group of people. As a complex culture, the Bell Beaker phenomenon must be studied in the diversity of its cultural components and in the difference of its transfer mechanisms. This allows for the identification of territoriality and intercultural components of societies of the 3rd millennium BC.
