Passage grave of Neu Gaarz
The passage grave of Neu Gaarz in the municipality of Rerik in the north of the Rostock district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is a north-east-south-west oriented megalithic complex (without passage) with the Sprockhoff no. 325. The in Rolling Stone Hill facility was found v 3500-2800. BC as a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK). It is located in the residential area on the “Zum Dolmen” street in Rerik-Ost. The passage grave is a form of Neolithic megalithic systems, which consists of a chamber and a structurally separated, lateral passage. This form can be found primarily in Denmark, Germany and Scandinavia as well as occasionally in France and the Netherlands.
description
The plant was sunk into the ground (which indicates a higher age) and lies in a depression. Eleven bearing stones are still present, four are missing. The cap stones have fallen into the chamber or are missing. In the middle of the south-southeast long side is the area that should represent the entrance to the chamber. The 1.3 m high, 9.5 m long and 2.0 m wide chamber of the large stone grave is exceptionally large (only the large stone grave of Qualitz is larger) and differs from the passage graves due to the lack of a stone passage. Instead, traces of four wooden posts were found in the corridor area. Ewald Schuldt found very few such systems in Mecklenburg, which he called "portal graves" as an alternative, but this collides with the portal tombs of the British Isles , which are of a completely different design. In contrast, there are roughly identical systems in the province of Drenthe in the Netherlands , where they are also known as "Portaalgraf".
The facility has nine quarters . These are most of the 100 or so plants that Ewald Schuldt has excavated. The board consists of pebbles , red sandstone slabs , annealed flint and clay screed . On one of the capstones of the chamber three bowls are incorporated. The archaeological investigation carried out by Ewald Schuldt in 1967 showed that the facility, which was very rich in finds, was subsequently used by those who carried out the spherical amphora culture .
In addition to charcoal, there were 26 shards, 48 amber pearls (six of which were double-axed ), 41 cross cutters , 25 blades , twelve flat axes, twelve striking stones , eleven narrow chisels, seven thick-nosed axes, five blade scrapers, four bowls, four double-conical and three barrel-shaped vessels, two hollow chisels , two spherical amphorae and one amphora .
