As is well known the arrival of the Corded Ware culture (CWC) population in Central Europe from the Pontic-Caspian steppe around 2800 BC saw nomadic pastoralism and animal husbandry displace the sedentary way of life (at least by the time the Neolithic population disappeared, circa 2500 BC). I wonder, however, how long nomadic pastoralism remained the dominant mode of life here? Did people still practice this lifestyle at the beginning of the Bronze Age (ca. 2300 BC), or had agriculture regained dominance by then?
