The Fall of Neolithic Europe — What Happened to the Globular Amphora People?

What happened during the final centuries of Neolithic Europe, and where do the Globular Amphora people fit into this major prehistoric transition? In this documentary, we explore the Globular Amphora culture, its distinctive pottery, burial traditions, settlement patterns, and the genetic evidence connected to populations living across Central and Eastern Europe before the Bronze Age. Ancient DNA has transformed our understanding of this period, revealing population movements, cultural contact, and major demographic changes that reshaped Europe. We examine how Neolithic farming communities interacted with incoming steppe-related groups and what archaeology suggests about conflict, migration, and social transformation. Rather than a single sudden collapse, the end of Neolithic Europe appears to have involved complex regional changes unfolding over generations. Discover what the evidence reveals about the Globular Amphora people and one of the most important turning points in European prehistory.
