Existing from about 3500 BC to 2300 BC this was a hunter-gatherer-fisher culture of southern Scandinavia, thriving along the coasts of Sweden, the Danish Islands, Jutland, and a bit of Norway.
The Pitted Ware people were maritime hunters who lived separately to the Neolithic farmers who dwelled inland in the same regions.
They were a genetically homogeneous and distinct population descended from earlier Mesolithic Scandinavian Hunter-Gatherers.
So what happened to the last hunter-gatherers of Europe?
(The Pitted Ware culture appear in my novel Thunderer: Gods of Bronze 2. In the story they're called the Seal People.)
