Large stone grave Rothenmoor (Dahmen)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The large stone grave Rothenmoor was a megalithic grave complex of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Rothenmoor , a district of Dahmen in the Rostock district ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). It was located on a mountain on the Großer Stüdersee east of Rothenmoor and was destroyed around 1847. Only a few hundred meters away, at the now desolate village of Sagel south of Rothenmoor, there was another large stone grave called Sagel . The next preserved grave is the large stone grave Basedow 2 located about 2 km northeast . No further information is available about the orientation, dimensions and type of the Rothenmoor system. During an examination of the already badly damaged burial chamber , Albrecht von Maltzahn found the shards of two funnel beakers . Both vessels were reddish brown and were decorated with vertical groups of stitches. Only one vessel is left. Today it is in the collection of the Archaeological State Museum Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in Schwerin .
