Suppose we had no written documents about Europe prior to the modern era. What would we know about European history from just the archaeological evidence?

by Phefeon

Apologies if this seems counterfactual; I am not supposing a "what if" Europe did not have writing. Rather, I mean to ask if we only were able to use archaeological evidence how much of Europe's history would we be able piece together?

Can you define 'modern era'?
