In the Mesolithic era, the hunter gatherers of Europe were thriving in a range of environments across the Continent. From 7,000 BC Neolithic farmers spread across Europe bringing a new way of life, new languages, beliefs and social structures. Then around 3,000 BC, another great change came with the spread of cattle and horse herders from their homelands on the Pontic steppe all the way to the furthest corners of Europe, heralding the beginning of the European bronze age. These three eras saw huge social, linguistic, and genetic changes but what exactly did prehistoric Europeans eat? *Artwork* Artistic reconstructions of the ancient European people are by The Beaker Lady in collaboration with The Chad Pastoralist.
