<p>This essay aims to investigate the use of an origin-ID within the Beaker Complex, as defined by John C. Barrett, seen through their different expressions of use in ceramic form and ornamentation, architecture and landscape through time and space with special emphasis on the late Neolihtics in the South of England. The analytic vehicle "the reinforcing circle" is used as a new diffusion model suggested by Stuart Needham, and the analytic tool "incubation" is used to structure the process the Beaker-cultures may have used to reach cultural hegemony. Id est, that the Beaker-cultures socially <em>invites </em>already existing cultures<em>, offering </em>within family and trading<em> </em>the results of new technologies. And/or, <em>occupy</em> <em>the space</em> and use the authority needed by re-writing the narrative as seen in the grave use and grave deposits. The use of a Beaker origin-ID is identified as a peaceful strategy to successfully implement and fullfill a process towards cultural hegemony in areas in Europe where the Beaker cultures presence over time have been identified.</p><p> </p> / Uppsatsen är inte paginerad.
