The Corded Ware People, or in Danish "Enkeltgravfolket", (c. 2800 BCE – 2350 BCE) existed in the Neolithic period and through the Agricultural Revolution, all through the Copper Age and the earlier Bronze Age.

The Corded Ware culture existed at the same time as the Funnel Beaker culture but spread over a larger area in northern Europe. The Corded Ware people came from an area near the Elbe and immigrated in the late Neolithic period.

The Corded Ware culture is named after their grave practice where every individual was buried by themselves in a small burial mound. The Corded Ware people look interchangeably like the Funnel Beaker people and both cultures produced big battle axes by stone, which primarily was used as a weapon of status. These ceremonial weapons are found in male graves while amber was found in the female graves.

The Corded Ware culture and its people were more of a culture epoch than a specific people.
