The large stone grave Neu Farpen is a megalithic grave complex of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Neu Farpen , a district of Neuburg in the district of Northwest Mecklenburg ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). It was archaeologically examined in 1941 by O. Kröpelin . The finds made in the process are now in the collection of the City History Museum in Wismar .

location

The grave is about halfway between Neuburg and Neu Farpen, just behind the fork in a field path on the edge of a forest.

description

The facility is almost completely destroyed. Hans-Jürgen Beier erroneously lists it as having gone out. The remains of an oval mound can still be seen. Inside was the east-west oriented burial chamber , which may have been a dolmen ; However, Ewald Schuldt runs the facility as a large stone grave of an indeterminable type. There are still two stones left, of which it is unclear whether they originally belonged to the chamber or to the enclosure. The chamber was about 10 m long and about 2 m wide. A clay pavement was discovered during the excavation . A layer of sand 0.5 m thick was laid on top of it and a layer of pebbles and stone slabs. Numerous grave goods lay on this top layer.

Are preserved two cylindrical neck shells , a flint - ax type Store Valby, a Flachbeil , four thin-bladed ax, a narrow chisel , two fire bats , five cross-edged arrowheads , numerous blades, discounts and fragments of three doppelaxtförmigen amber - pearls . A bowl- like bowl , three double-conical hanging vessels as well as a complete barrel vessel and the fragments of two other barrel vessels are not preserved .
