Neolithic Scandinavians may have used skin boats to hunt, travel and trade

[Still Waters]

The PWC was a neolithic culture that had migrated from the East during the Early and Middle Neolithic. They settled in what is modern-day Scandinavia around 3500–2300 BCE. This hunter-gatherer culture was named after the pottery they produced, which was characteristically decorated with deep pits along its circumference.

The Pitted Ware Culture (PWC) was unusual among European marine-specialized hunter-gatherer groups. While other such groups gradually incorporated more agricultural products as farming spread, the PWC continued to focus on seal hunting and fishing, even though farming had been practiced in Europe for over five centuries.

The Pitted Ware never mixed with the Neolithic farmer Funnelbeaker Culture. They might of actually wiped out the neighboring ones.

They mixed directly with the IE Battle Axe Culture forming the German identity.

Sometimes I really wonder who named us for HUMANS.
