The name Corded Ware comes from the cord-like impressions on their pottery.

They encompassed a vast area, from the Rhine on the west to the Volga in the east, occupying parts of Northern Europe, Central Europe and Eastern Europe.

They were descended from Western Steppe Herders populations (like the Yamnaya) who moved into Neolithic Europe and merged with the farming populations from the Globular Amphora culture and the Funnelbeaker culture.

These people were, to one extent or another, ancestral to all northern European people from the Baltic to the Atlantic.

For decades, these remarkable communities have been presented as egalitarian proto-cities without kings, palaces, or social hierarchy. But recent discoveries have revealed enormous megastructures whose purpose remains fiercely debated. Were they temples, assembly halls, elite residences, lineage houses, men's houses, or centres of governance?
