WINDMILL- A culture group called Windmill people crossed the cannel from northern Europe; bringing with them a way of life that include settled agriculture. That was the keeping of such domestic animals as sheep and dogs, the use of well-shaped flint arrowhead, and the making of pottery ornamented with spiral or thumbprint designs. The skeletons of their dead were buriedintact. That was called inhumation, usually in groups rather than individually. Long mounds or barrows, similar to the burial of Native Americans.

Their name derives from the characteristic shape of their pots, which resemble the beakers used in chemistry laboratories such pottery has been southern Scotland. The beakerfolk usually buried their dead singly, in round barrows. Beaker sites have also yield bronze drinking cups and jewelry, but these articles were acquired through trade with more advanced people on the continent.

It´s less useful for knives and weapons like swords or axes. Wessex culture, come from the continent to south west England but soon spread throughout the British Isles. These invaders brought with them their skill in producing bronze article. Wessex culture was cremated, with an urn being inverted over the remains; burials might be single, in mounds, or grouped in urn fields. Wessex people wereinvolved in international trade. During this period, the Irish were producing some of the most sophisticated metalwork in Europe such as gold jewelry, earrings and pennanular brooches. They also found their way through trade to England and the continent. Bronze continued to be used for ornamental objects, with gold and silver also available in small quantities, but iron superseded bronze forutilitarian purpose. Large-scale settled farming was now practiced, with corrals, threshing, floors and storehouse or bans, and additional forested land was cleared for agricultural use. He re-ancient breeds of sheep, pigs and cattle are raised, and range of cereal crops, notably several varieties of wheat and barley are grown.
