"Whencesoever they came, the men of the British bronze [age] race were richly endowed, physically. They were, as a rule, tall and stalwart; their brains were large; and their features, if somewhat harsh and coarse, must have been manly and even commanding." John Beddoe, The Races of Britain: A Contribution to the Anthropology of Western Europe (1885). These pictures are a selection of Bell Beaker folk Bronze Age artefacts at the Kelingrove museum in Glasgow. 1. A bronze age skull of a Beaker folk male whose cause of death seems pretty obvious. 2. Bronze weapons including an axe so tiny it can't possibly have been used for anything but some kind of ceremony. 3. Gold jewellery. 4. Cup and ring marks carved in stone. 5. Funerary urns. 6. A tiny urn for a child? 7. I am pointing at one of four stone slabs that formed the cist for a high status male burial. The zig zag engraving resembles other early Indo-European art seen on pottery. 8. An actual bell beaker for drinking rituals. 9. A woman's necklace made from jet. #indoeuropean #bellbeaker #bronzeage #scottishbronzeage #scottishhistory #ancientscotland #ancientbritain #bronzeagebritain #beakerpeople #beakerfolk #cist #burialmound #cremation #archaeology #kelvingrove (at Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUSlxmTtPiW/?utm_medium=tumblr

"Is she really going out with him?" It is surprising to learn that the Neolithic colonisation of Britian and Ireland did not follow the familiar course which is usually repeated throughout history when advanced sedentary agricultural cultures encroach on the lands of indigenous hunter gatherers. Although most were replaced, they also intermixed. But it wasn't the farmer men who took native wives, it was the other way around! All of the paternal lineages of Neolithic Britain and Ireland came not from the Neolithic race themselves but from the smaller minority of native WHG men! This beautiful artwork by @artofryanmurray was created for my new video on the subject of the megalith builders and their DNA. It will be live tonight! #WHG #westernhuntergatherer #megalithicmarvels #megalith #neolithic #mesolithic #stonecircle #ancientbritain #ancientireland #newgrange #eef #huntergatherer #earlyfarming #ancienthistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CCyVFdCAOou/?igshid=1fth9ffn1yxnk
