The Northeastern European Bronze Age tradition is located in central and eastern Europe from the Carpathian to the Ural Mountains. The tradition extends from 4000/3800-2800/2700 BP. The people were sedentary agriculturalists who raised livestock and also hunted and fished. Their settlements were close to fresh water. Long distance trade along the many great rivers of eastern Europe extended from the Baltic to the Caucasus Mountains. In addition to lithic and bone tools and ceramics, bronze was used for weapons and ornaments as found in their burial mounds. Social differentiation increased during the time period along with conflict and warfare. As with most traditions covering such a large area there was wide regional diversity.
