"The Last Hunter-Gatherers of Europe | Pitted Ware Culture". > [YouTube](https://youtu.be/_rspqObP2yg) ## Description > 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. ## Sources [[anthony2007]] [[shennan2018-first]] [[schulting-fibiger2012]] [[iversen2016]] [[svizzero2015]] [[price-llassen-sjogren2020]]
