This study investigates the underlying factors behind the spread of the Bell Beaker culture in 3rd millennium BC Europe, testing the hypothesis that it arrived as a result of invasion, and a new population. It does so by analysing non-metric dental traits from a large sample taken from five regions across the Bell Beaker area - Bohemia, Hungary, southern France, northern Spain and Switzerland - totalling more than 2,000 individuals, 530 traits and 255,000 observations. The results show varying local influence in the emergence of the Bell Beaker culture, and a model is proposed for its diffusion.

Soft cover. Condition: New. vi, 205 pages : illustrations, maps ; 30 cm + 1 CD-ROM (4 3/4 in.). The Bell Beaker complex is defined, above all, by a ceramic style widespread across Europe during the 3rd millennium BC. In contrast to the preceding period, it represents an entity distinguished from other archaeological manifestations by its material culture, funeral practices and mode of diffusion. Its particularly vast geographic distribution has provoked different interpretations: a unique population invading Europe, the long-distance exchange of prestige goods, and the absence of a Bell Beaker population with only the diffusion of its cultural components. Osteoarchaeology makes it possible to test the first of these hypotheses, which proposes the diffusion of a culture by population displacement. The pertinent elements on the human skeleton must thus be identified for analysis. Here, the choice was made to analyze non-metric dental traits, anatomic variations observed on permanent and deciduous dentition. These are, in general, traits that are present or absent, or which reflect different phases ofdevelopment. They can be positive structures, such as the presence of tubercles or ridges, or negative, such as grooves. Such traits can also vary in the number, position and size of cusps and roots. Based on results obtained from studies of archaeological material, the regions selected to test this hypothesis are the Czech Republic, Hungary, Switzerland, France and Spain.
