Description
This beaker was found 'under a large stone' apparently with a burial near Aberbechan Hall, Llanllwchaearn, near Newtown.
The 'grooved' ware of the Neolithic period continued during the early Bronze Age, but between 2200 and 1600 BC Beaker pottery arrived in Britain and was generally spread in Western Europe. No satisfactory theory has yet been found as to the origin of this type or its rapid distribution. The pottery has a distinctive shape and decoration of geometric lines. The Beaker pottery was succeeded by food vessels and urn types.
