The Großsteingrab Emsen (also called Großsteingrab Langenrehm or Der Hohe Stein) was built between 3500 and 2800 BC. A system of the Neolithic Funnel Beaker Culture (TBK) that was created near the village of Emsen in the district of Harburg , Lower Saxony, which belongs to the Rosengarten community . It bears the Sprockhoff number 672.
location
The grave is located near the eastern exit of the district of Langenrehm, which belongs to Emsen, in the middle of a row of trees on the edge of a field.
description
The facility has a flat, round hill bed. This contains the remains of the north-west-south-east oriented burial chamber. In 1934, Willi Wegewitz carried out an excavation here . The north-western end stone and five wall stones of the north-eastern long side are still in situ , of which the middle one is, however, shifted slightly inwards, as an overturned cap stone rests on it. On the southwest long side, this capstone rests on another, completely overturned wall stone. More stones lie outside the chamber. Sprockhoff suspected that they belonged to a corridor and assumed that the facility was to be regarded as a Holstein chamber .
He was able to document uses of the TBK and subsequent uses of the cord ceramicists as well as from the early Bronze Age .
