Great stone grave Tachev

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The large stone grave Tatschow was a megalithic burial complex of the Neolithic funnel cup culture near Tatschow , a district of Schwaan in the Rostock district ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). It was destroyed in 1833. The exact location is not known. There is also no information about the orientation, dimensions and type of grave. During the destruction, glowing flint stones were observed, which probably belonged to the pavement.

The grave contained numerous grave goods. Three ceramic vessels were recovered (a cylinder neck bowl decorated with angular rows and groups of lines, a large decorated and a small undecorated vessel), a flint hatchet , three hollow hatchets , two narrow chisels , the fragment of a thick-necked hatchet ( wrongly interpreted by Robert Beltz as another narrow chisel), three flint blades and an ax from a reburial of the end neolithic individual grave culture . The large decorated and the small undecorated vessel, an ax and the three blades have not survived. The remaining items are now in the collection of the Archaeological State Museum Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in Schwerin .
