This volume gathers the proceedings of the 2nd annual meeting of the ‘Association Archeologie et Gobelets’, offering a range of papers exploring aspects of the Bell Beaker phenomenon. The panel of international scholars approach the topic from the perspectives of palaeoanthropology, chronology (with a variety of alternative suggestions for periodisation based on ceramic forms and decorative styles), patterns of migration and cultural contact, regional comparison of settlement patterns, burial customs, and other cultural phenomena accompanying Bell Beakers, and more. The volume offers new answers to old questions concerning this enigmatic phenomenon, but also asks new questions, opening new avenues for future research.
