Sounds very like the old "diffusionist" ideas that V Gordon Childe and others were keen on. Is there any evidence for agriculturalists coming from the East, or was it simply ideas that travelled?


Oh I think it was far more than just the ideas that travelled TSC. The Beaker Folk who spread far and wide were definitely here and wasn't it Childe who claimed they were 'war like' people which doesn't seem to ring true?


Up to a point. I think the idea of mass-migration has been largely discounted and that current thinking is that the evidence points to smaller scale movement of people, goods and ideas. Same with the "Celts".


Well any form of migration in time builds up into a mass in quantity if it is a constant flow. Beaker pottery has been found pretty well most places in southern parts indicating a large influx over a period of time.
