Passage grave of Jamel
The passage grave of Jamel (also called Everstorfer Forst Süd (4)) is located in the Jamel Forest in Jamel (Gägelow) , near the Grevesmühlen district of Barendorf in the district of Northwest Mecklenburg in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It originated in the Neolithic between 3500 and 2800 BC. The passage grave is a construction form of Neolithic megalithic systems of the funnel cup culture (TBK), which consists of a chamber and a structurally separated, lateral passage.
This form is primarily found in Denmark , Germany and Scandinavia , as well as occasionally in France and the Netherlands .
The passage grave of Jamel is a north-west-south-east oriented megalithic complex with the Sprockhoff no. 314. The southern group in the Eversdorfer Forest, to which five plants belong, lies at the junction of the road to Barendorf from the B105. Three are south of the B105 and two north, all of which are accessible and signposted from a parking lot.
description
In the approximately 15 m long and 11.0 by 6.8 m wide trapezoidal boggy bed there is a rectified, likewise trapezoidal 1.5 m high, 8.2 m long and 2.6 by 1.8 m wide northwest-southeast oriented chamber, with a laterally in the south in the center, but at an angle, 2.5 m also trapezoidal long corridor. The curbs of the megalithic bed are only to some extent preserved in the western area. However, 14 of the once 15 bearing stones of the chamber and five of the once seven bearing stones of the corridor are present. Four of the once six capstones of the chamber (2 on the ends) and both capstones of the corridor are missing. The chamber of the large stone grave is unusually large. Among the excavated sites, only the facilities in Qualitz and Neu Gaarz in Mecklenburg are larger.
The system has four yokes , two three-point supports and six quarters . The floorboard consists of pebbles and annealed flint . The archaeological investigation by Ewald Schuldt in 1967 showed that the facility was used by the bearers of the individual grave culture .
In addition to charcoal, there were 56 shards, 29 amber beads (22 of which were double-axed ), five cross cutters , five blades , two flat hatchets, a neck ridge ax, a striking stone , a double-conical vessel, a single burial cup and a thick point.
