They're a cohesive group in Britain in prehistory that were known by their large drinking beakers, probably used in communal and possibly ceremonial (and certainly convivial) drinking. Little remains of them but their pottery beakers.

It's nice to put at least part of a face to one of them. Little else is known about them but the pottery.
