The large stone grave Odoorn-Noorderveld 2 was a megalithic burial complex of the Neolithic western group of the funnel cup culture near Odoorn , a district of Borger-Odoorn in the Dutch province of Drenthe . It was destroyed in the early 19th century. Its remains were archaeologically examined in 1984 . The grave bears the Van Giffen number D32d.
location
The grave was located east of Odoorn in the field between Dennenweg, Odoornerweg and Bergjesweg. There are numerous other large stone graves in the vicinity. 920 m south-southeast is the large stone grave Valthe-West (D34), 1.7 km west-northwest is the large stone grave Odoorn (D32), 1.8 km south-southeast is the large stone grave Valthe-Zuidwest (D35), 2.1 km north-northeast is the large stone grave Exloo-Zuid (D31) and 2.5 km east-southeast the two large stone graves at Valthe-Oost (D36 and D37). Several destroyed graves are also known from this area. 900 m south-southeast was the large stone grave Valthe-Valtherveld (D33), 1.2 km north-northwest the large stone grave Odoorn-Noorderveld 1 (D32c) and 2 km west the large stone grave Odoorn-Westeres (D32a).
Research history
The facility was destroyed in the early 19th century. In 1943, her remains were first recognized as a large stone grave. Jan Evert Musch also documented the site in the 1960s . In 1984 the remains of the grave were archaeologically examined under the direction of Jan N. Lanting .
description
The complex was probably an aisle grave . In 1818 there were only three stones left. During his excavation, Lanting was able to determine that the burial chamber was about 5.5 m long and between 1.6 m and 2 m wide. It consisted of three pairs of wall stones on the long sides and one end stone each on the narrow sides. Remnants of a stone pavement could no longer be made out.
Finds
During his excavation, Lanting was able to recover ceramic shards of the funnel beaker culture, from which around 150 vessels could be reconstructed. The discovery of a ceramic lid is so far unique for the western group of the funnel beaker culture. The pottery dates to grades 2–5 and 7 of the typological system of the Western Beaker Group established by Anna Brindley . This corresponds to the period 3470–3075 and 2860–2760 BC. Chr. Shards of Gouda - pipe bowls make it possible to date the destruction of the tomb in the early 19th century.
