The Beaker people were people who were named for their pottery that was the first pottery to be in the shape of a beaker, made to drink beverages.  Unlike Neolithic people, they buried their dead in individual graves with grave goods inside, such as a sword or a cup, rather than having a grave for multiple people.  They brought the art of smelting to Europe and also had pack horses. They mixed tin and copper to make bronze for the first time in Europe, which was a huge step forward in making tools.
